Ranking Your Congressional Delegation – How Small Business Friendly Are they?
The Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council has ranked congressional delegations by State according to how they voted for small business issues like lowering taxes, reducing regulation, etc.
Here are the top 10 States:
1 Idaho 95.7
1 Oklahoma 95.7
3 Alaska 94.3
3 Wyoming 94.3
5 Utah 92.4
6 Kentucky 92.1
7 Alabama 91.0
8 Nebraska 90.6
9 Kansas 88.6
10 New Hampshire 87.0
Note that only one of these is in the Northeast (New Hampshire) and that the rest are either in the south or the West.
The Bottom 10 is made up of the usual suspects (with the exception of North Dakota):
41 New Jersey 41.6
42 Connecticut 41.2
43 New York 38.9
44 Maryland 35.2
