Our state's chapter of Americans for Prosperity has released its final report card of the 2008-2009 legislative session. Over fifty key votes were evaluated from a taxpayer's perspective.

We are sorry to report that our district's representatives have utterly failed the taxpayer. In the Assembly, Caridad Rogriguez and Ruben Ramos both earned failing grades. Rodriguez voted in the taxpayer's interest a mere 8% of the time. Ramos fared even worse, with a 2% score. In the Senate, Brian Stack received a paltry 2% score as well. A dual officeholder, Stack also serves as Mayor of Union City.

We'll keep a watchful eye on this tax-and-spend trio, and let you know how they vote in the upcoming session. In the meantime, hold on to your wallets!
