The Arkansas Sierra Club has released its Legislative Report card on the 2007 Arkansas General Assembly, and it reveals mixed results for Northwest Arkansas legislators--the best and the worst of the lot.
State Representative Lindsley Smith (D-Fayetteville) had a 100% Sierra Club voting record this session, as she did in the 2005 session. Representative Jim House (D-Fayetteville) also had an admirable record, supporting the environmental group's position 77% of the time.
The worst records in both chambers were also from our area. State Senator Bill Pritchard (R-Elkins) had the worst record in the senate at 22%. In the House, Daryl Pace (R-Siloam Springs) and Mike Kenney (R-Siloam Springs) who represents northwest Washington County were at the bottom of the House rankings at 8%.
