2013 Freedom Index Report

Transcription

1

2 Dear Friend of Freedom, On behalf of the board of directors of Idaho Freedom Foundation and our dedicated team of policy analysts and reporters, it is my honor to present you with our 2013 Idaho Freedom Index Report. The Idaho Freedom Index examines legislation for free market principles, constitutionality, regulatory growth and other defined metrics. The examination then results in a numeric value being assigned to each bill having an impact on economic freedom and growth of government. We then take those numeric values and tally each legislator s House or Senate floor votes to see whether that legislator, in total, supported or opposed economic freedom. Before the Idaho Freedom Index came along, it was nearly impossible to speak knowledgeably about a legislator s commitment or opposition to free market ideals. We basically had to take politicians at their word regarding their cumulative voting performance. Today, voters, taxpayers and other interested observers can use our data to see whether lawmakers vote in support of bigger or smaller government, economic liberty or statism. Legislators routinely check our Freedom Index analyses before they cast their votes, and members of the public also check the Index to see how their legislators are performing. Our policy analysts worked tirelessly throughout the session to make sure lawmakers and the public had timely, accurate and substantive information during the 88-day legislative session. None of this work would be possible without the generous support of freedom-loving Idahoans, who continue to make a financial investment in the Idaho Freedom Foundation. If you are one of our dedicated donors, I offer you my humble and heartfelt gratitude. You are helping make a difference a difference that is seen daily in the discussion, in the decisions and in the accountability of our elected officials. The impact of your gift is seen in our daily work both on the pages that follow and in our other projects such as our annual report on government waste, and the popular websites, AccountableIdaho.com and IdahoReporter.com. We hope to continue working with you in our ongoing efforts to make Idaho a better place by restoring liberty and improving lives. Yours for Freedom, 2 Wayne Hoffman Executive Director
