Sandoval, GOP given low marks by conservative group
By Reno Gazette-Journal
CARSON CITY – A report card from the conservative Nevada Policy Research Institute gave failing grades to Gov. Brian Sandoval and moderate GOP lawmakers who helped pass a $1.1 billion tax package, contending Republicans squandered their time in power and failed to shake things up.
The think tank issued the grades on a scale of 0 to 100 percent based on how closely the politicians lined up with NPRI’s legislative priorities.
The institute opposes tax increases, tax incentive programs and many spending measures, while pushing to weaken union power and scale back public employee pensions.
Just to put the conservative Nevada Policy Research Institute into context, their “think tank” gave Nevada Sue “Chickens For Checkups” Lowden and Sharon “Hear What I mean, Not What I Say” Angle to try and defeat Harry Reid in 2010.
“I am not concerned with the rankings of a libertarian ‘think-tank’ that applauds those who refuse to address head-on the needs of our community and who fail to take any responsibility whatsoever for governing,” , and that from a fellow republican.
…..couldn’t have said it better myself.
The Republican Clown Car lurches down the road, low on gas, hair on fire. Cue the circus music.
My guess would be he is doing a great job. This is the kind of Republican I remember from long ago. Fiscally conservative but willing to compromise for the good go the country.
