The Iowa Association of Business and Industry has released its 2009 legislative scorecard, with 27 Republicans in the House and three in the Senate receiving perfect scores.

The grades were based on legislator’s votes on nine bills in each chamber. In the Senate, they ranged from a bill that “streamlines the Iowa Values Fund” to bills altering the state’s workers compensation system.

In the House, bills included numerous union-backed pieces of legislation, including the controversial prevailing wage bill.

Republican Sens. Randy Feenstra of Hull, Kim Reynolds of Osceola and Ron Wieck of Sioux City scored 100 percent.

Overall, the highest scoring Democrat was Rep. Brian Quirk of New Hampton, who scored a 57 percent, and Reps. Larry Marek of Riverside and Dorris Kelley of Waterloo, who scored 55 percent.

In the Senate, Democratic Sens. Tom Rielly of Oskaloosa, Rich Olive of Story City and Swati Dandekar of Marion each scored 44 percent.
