CLICK HERE FOR THE POSITIVE GROWTH ALLIANCE VOTER GUIDE
We have just released our 2010 voter guide. We think you will find the results surprising and maybe even shocking.
The purpose of this guide is to help you determine what incumbent members of the Delaware General Assembly have actually voted for in terms of the economy. We have no comments on challenger candidates without an actual voting record.
First we analyzed all legislation passed by the Delaware General Assembly in 2009 and 2010, plus some others that didn't become law. We then chose 30 that we believe harm the Delaware economy by their passage. Some make large impacts and some small, but all have a negative effect at a time when we can ill afford it.
For a candidate to be included in this guide, they have to be in a Senate or Representative district where at least 2 candidates are contesting for the seat this November, plus they have to be an incumbent with a record. We did not analyze districts where a candidate is running unopposed or has no contest.
If a candidate voted "yes" on all 30 measures, they would have the worst possible record in terms of harming the economy. On the other hand, if they voted "no" on all 30, they would have the best possible rating. "No" votes support the Positive Growth Alliance position.
We would appreciate your comments,

P.S. Next year, we will rate every General Assembly member from day one. We will do all we can to make sure that citizens are fully informed.
