Americans for Prosperity, a conservative taxpayer group, released its annual Local Government Scorecard rating Arizona’s city and town council members on their voting records when it comes to spending money.
Councilwoman Joan Krueger, who was defeated last week in her re-election bid, got the Gilbert Town Council’s highest score. She still only got a -1 for “needs much improvement” on a scale which runs from +8 to -8. Most of the rest of the council was given a -3 and the “friend of big government” title, including Mayor Steve Berman, who made his previous “friend of the taxpayer” score part of his spring re-election bid, which was also unsuccessful.
Councilman Dave Crozier, who has positioned himself as one of the more conservative members of a fairly conservative council, was given a -5 score and a “champion of big government” label.
More information about the survey is available at the group’s Web site.
