MAINE SENATE LABOR VOTES
2005
NOTE: The
chart below covers ten key votes of importance to working
families in Maine cast by Maine senators at the 2005 session of
the Maine Legislature. It gives the name, party affiliation,
home town and Legislative District of each of the members of the
Maine House. The names are arranged alphabetically.
An "R" indicates a "right" vote and a "W" indicates a "wrong"
vote. The number at the top of the column indicates the measure
that was voted on. The final column, to the far right, indicates
the percentage of "right" votes cast during the 2005 session.
The percentage is based on total votes actually cast. If
the senator is absent or excused there is an "X". The material
"Labor Vote Information" below provides a brief description of
the measure vote on, the Legislative Document (LD) number, the
roll call number in the Senate (SRC) or in the House (HRC).
TO FIND: To find
your senator on the chart - hold down the control (CTRL) key and
at the same time hit "F" on your key board. The "Find"
dialog box will pop up on your screen. Type in the last name
of your representative, click "find" and the computer will find
the name on the chart and highlight it in reverse type. A number
of representatives have the same last name. If the first one
found is not your representative, click on "find next."
WHO REPRESENTS
YOU?: If you do not know the name of your representative:
