STATEHOUSE - The Indiana Chamber of Commerce released their annual Legislative Vote Analysis earlier this week, ranking State Rep. Bill Davis (R-Portland) as a pro-job and pro-economy legislator. Rep. Davis scored a 94 percent for 2011 session and an aggregate vote percentage of 90 percent for the 2010 and 2011 years combined, showing proof of the large number of job-friendly bills that were introduced and passed by the House Republicans. "In these tough economic times we have kept job creation and improving Indiana's economy at the top of our list," said Rep. Davis. "I am pleased with the progress towards our goals this session, but we will continue to find ways to get Hoosiers back to work." The Chamber's Vote Analysis is produced after every legislative session. The legislator's scores are determined by bills and select amendments' that impact the state's economy. Legislation included in the analysis that the Indiana Chamber highlights are: House Enrolled Act (HEA) 1004 to increase access to start-up capital for Indiana businesses in addition to lowering the corporate income tax rate; HEA 1006 to promote economic development locally and regionally; and HEA 1007 to allow enhanced abatement schedules and hiring incentives to encourage local job growth. "I look forward to continuing to see the positive impact this legislation will have on our community. Many new businesses and investments have already come to Indiana and I hope that this encourages them for many years to come," said Rep. Davis.
