Here is a pdf link for an updated scoring rubric for AFP Arizona's 2010 Legislative Scorecard, as of February 22nd:

http://www.americansforprosperity.org/files/azlscrubric02-19-10.pdf

As you can see, legislators who voted to refer the Brewer Tax to the May 18 ballot will have to vote for a lot of great pro-taxpayer policies in order to salvage their scores and not end up in "Friend of Big Government" territory.

For Liberty,
