16 Analysis HOW LEGISLATORS VOTED Below you will find the non weighted and weighted results of how members of the legislature voted. KEY TO THE TABLES ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES Impact Non Weighted Many times legislators are not available for a vote on the floor and subsequently their position is not recorded. A non weighted scale takes in the amount of times a legislator simply voted with the Commission position on legislation. The last recorded vote is depicted only. The scale is as follows: Voted for the Commission position = 1 Voted against the Commission position = 0 The number of times the legislator voted an AGFD position is divided by the total number of bills (the Department has taken a position on) the legislator voted on. Example: Mr. L supported the Commission position 5 times out of a possible 10 Commission position bills. Mr. L supports the Commission position 50% of the time. Impact Weighted Because not all bills impact the Department to an equal degree, the bills are assigned a level of impact in order to place a greater emphasis on more important bills in which the Department sought more support or emphatically opposed. The votes on all bills are weighted in accordance with the degree of impact on the Department. In general, the level of impact of a bill is measured by considering the bill s affect on the existing authority of the Commission, the Department s financial security, or the Department s overall ability to effectively manage wildlife. The last recorded vote is depicted only. 16

17 THE WEIGHTING SCALE IS AS FOLLOWS: Bill of NORMAL Impact: Vote in favor of the Commission position +1 Against the Commission position -1 Bill of MEDIUM Impact: Vote in favor of the Commission position +2 Against the Commission position -2 Bill of HIGH Impact: Vote in favor of the Commission position +3 Against the Commission position -3 Bill Sponsorship (1 st Primary Sponsor) A sponsor of a bill supported by the Commission will receive 1 additional point per bill sponsorship A sponsor of a bill opposed by the Commission will lose 1 point per bill sponsorship Total Points = Total number of weighted points versus the total number of weighted points possible (excluding points possible from bill sponsorship) if the legislator were to consistently vote in favor of the AZGFD position. Note This scorecard is not intended to be used in judging legislators, but rather, our ability to effectively communicate our position on issues. Also, these calculations do not take into account work that goes on behind the scene on legislative issues (i.e., helping a bill be heard and debated).
