A new Republican report card is in the making.
Most employers do evaluations of their employees based on performance. So what is the beef with previous scorecards and evaluations?
It should be noted that those who have done the complaining are those whose performance has been lacking.
One complaint has been that some of the previous evaluations have been done anonymously. Those complaining about that would much prefer the opportunity to vilify a particular group or individual over dealing with the facts presented in a score card. This new score card is being done by a group that will remain anonymous. While the Life and Liberty Group policy is to disclose authorship of evaluations done by the LLG, there is merit to anonymity for some individuals or groups. It compels judgment on the issues and the Legislator performance without distraction. Office holders who do not adhere to the Republican Party Platform don’t like that.
Here is a news flash… Conservatives don’t like it when their representatives claim to be Republican while abandoning the principles of the very party to which Legislators claim to belong.
This evaluation will cover a broader range of issues, and input is being solicited regarding legislation that should be included. The Life and Liberty Group recieved this request and we want to pass it along to you. Please review the criteria make your suggestions.
1.) Does the bill have any bearing on the right to life, the right to bear arms, or the right to ownership and usage of private property ?
2.) Does the bill have any bearing on raising or lowering the tax burden of South Dakota residents ?
3.) Is the bill CONSISTENT with the South Dakota GOP platform, or is it in CONFLICT with certain planks of the SD GOP platform ?
If you know of bills that you feel ought to be included on this report card, please reply to this e-mail with the bill number (for example: HB 1015 or HB 1248) along with the reason you feel it should be included and/or plank of the platform that is applicable to it.
Here is a link the South Dakota GOP Platform for you to use as a reference.
