Common Sense: Rating the Legislature
The State Conservative Party came out with its legislative ratings for the 2014 legislative session last week. The Conservative Party rated 20 bills for the Assembly and Senate with about 10 being voted on by both houses.
Among the bills the party opposed were the NYS Dream Act and the 10-point Women’s Equality Act whose 10th point expands abortion in New York, as well as a number of bills that increase taxes, debt or spending.
Among the bills we supported was legislation to prevent public assistance cash dollars from being used to buy alcohol, tobacco, lottery tickets, gaming or adult entertainment; the National Popular Vote for Presidential voting and an act to make terrorism recruitment a Class C Felony.
