Archived: Beacon Hill Earns Solid Grades for 2013-2014

Posted on September 23, 2014

AIM.ScorecardClasses may have just begun for students throughout Massachusetts, but the report card is already out for Beacon Hill now that the formal portion of the 2013-2014 legislative session is over.

Associated Industries of Massachusetts today released its biennial Legislative Scorecard, the commonwealth’s most widely read review of the votes taken by members of the Massachusetts House and Senate on issues important to the business community.

AIM departed from its normal scorecard practice for the 2013-2014 legislative session because the complexity of the lawmaking process and the sometimes arcane rules of each chamber make it nearly impossible to render a fair judgment on the votes taken by individual legislators. We have instead graded the entire Legislature on its body of work during the past two years.
