State lawmakers have been graded by the Florida Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber released its annual legislative report card today. Grades are giving to lawmakers based on how they voted on pro business issues. The Chambers Vice president of Government Affairs David Daniel said it was a good year for business but not for legislators.

“I think in the end we have a lot of legislators that do and some that don’t. We saw a down turn this year. I think it was a successful year for business, but I think it was a tough year for legislators,” said Daniel.

The chamber named Lakeland lawmaker, Dennis Ross, the Most Valuable Legislator. According to the report card Ross scored a 100 percent for his work in the 2008 legislative session.
