Ted Gaines

Assemblymen Ted Gaines (R-Roseville) and Roger Niello (R-Fair Oaks) and state Senator Sam Aanestad (R-Grass Valley) received 100 % from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers' Association annual legislative scorecard.
The association based its scores on 18 measures,almost all tax and fee related, in the past legislative session.

A press release issued by the association said:

"For this evaluation to be as fair and non-partisan as possible, we have given half-credit for all vote abstentions on bills that would increase the burden on taxpayers. We understand that it can be difficult for lawmakers to resist pressure from legislative leadership and special interest lobbyists, and have chosen to acknowledge this by giving partial credit. "
