Ratings of the 2004 Hawaii State Legislature
SENATE RATINGS | HOUSE RATINGS | RESOURCES | JUNE 2004 SB NEWS
Each year since 1986, PAYCHECKS HAWAII, a private, independent, non-partisan, political action affiliate of Small Business Hawaii (founded in 1984), has rated each of the 51 members of the State House and 25 State Senators for the just conlcluded legislative session. Ratings are based on business issues only (i.e., taxes/fees, government spending, regulations, employer mandates) and include votes actually taken in committee and on the House and Senate floors, advocacy of small business issues, sponsorship of good or harmful business legislation and access by taxpayers.
The ratings are published annually in Small Busines News and on the SBH website: smallbusinesshawaii.com. The individual ratings range from #1 (supportive of free market, competitive small business and an improved business climate) to #5 (hostile to small business and Hawaii's business climate).
Key: * Signed Americans For Tax Reform "Tax Pledge"
