Visible corruption in State Government and waste of tax dollars
The Governor must be a strong leader and accept responsibility. He must be moral and just in all decisions as they will affect the residents. He must work diligently to improve all residents lives and work with the legislature and guide their lawmaking insuring that it is moral and ethical. Managing the State budget and giving the Legislature the tools they need to keep the State functioning adequately. Be present and visible to the Legislature and residents and set an example of strength and capability at all times to encourage everyone around you. Work with and listen to all State employees as to what they need to accomplish their jobs efficiently. Be highly visible in all aspects of daily activities and interact with the people.

Work with organization supervisors to insure their workers have what they need to efficiently perform their jobs.

Governors need the ability to estimate revenues so adjustments to expenditures can be available at all times to supervisors of all organizations. Any and all expenditures, grants, or paying out of any monies needs to be done by the Legislature and their approval by vote. This insures less corruption and accountability by not just the Executive level but the Legislative organizations across the board.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
