How we placed them
Placed only by their own votes: we took the 222 contested House floor votes of the 2026 session (where at least 10% voted on the losing side) and found the main line that divides how members vote, the same idea political scientists use to score Congress. No bill is labeled liberal or conservative by us; the conservative end is simply the side where most Republicans fall. More on how this works

All 135 →H.B. 507 State Coordination of Regional and Local Economic Development Projects Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Explains the conference committee changes, including pit protections so cities are not liable for bad pit debt, a coordination clause, and removal of a duplicative energy zone and tax increment process so the Energy Council keeps its role.
▶ Watch at 1:19:27Read what they said
Yeah, just in, uh, the changes from the last sub, we added some additional pit protections to make sure that cities aren't liable for bad pit debt. And we added a coordination clause with some legislation from the representative from Ogden. Um, and then most importantly, I'd say we removed a duplicative process around energy zones and tax increment to make sure that the Energy Council maintains its position, um, in energy development and incentives. And with that, I'm open to questions.
