"The LHT Steering Committee took on the task of creating a scorecard based upon the candidate's responses to our Revolt questionnaire. As expected, it took a lot of time and wasn't easy, but I think the end product is something both groups (and candidates) should be very proud of. "
The Lower Hoboken Taxes Mayoral Candidate Scorecard
The Lower Hoboken Taxes Steering Committee has analyzed the candidate's responses to the Hoboken Revolt questionnaires and taken a look at each candidate's recent voting history to create a scorecard to help voters better understand each candidate's positions on the most important issues. The scorecard provides a grade based upon the thoroughness of the candidates responses and how well their solutions are aligned with Lower Hoboken Taxes' goals and objectives. Grades were given based upon a typical A through F school-rating scale. (The Mayoral Candidate Scorecard does not necessarily reflect the views of all 1,100 of it's members.)
My analysis/summary: In eight categories Dawn Zimmer had the highest score in 4 categories, Peter Cammarano in 3 categories, and Beth Mason in one category. These again are the ratings of the LHT steering committee and not any of the other members or any other organization.
Here is the Scorecard on Slideshare:
