According to the Indiana Chamber, Rep. Rhoads scored a 94 percent pro-job and pro-economy voting record this past session, showing proof of the large number of job-friendly bills that were introduced and passed by the House Republicans. "I am in full support of legislation that will bring jobs to our state and our community, while also improving our economy," said Rep. Rhoads. "Even in tough times, we must continue our efforts to find more and more ways to further Indiana's economic development for the benefit of our state and its Hoosiers." 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 were: 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.
