OCBC Sets the Record Straight on Mansoor

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - Apr 4, 2012) - Orange County Business Council (OCBC) has issued a correction of its Legislative Scorecard, originally produced and distributed last October, 2011. A transposition of one vote caused the score for Assembly member Alan Mansoor to be miscalculated at a lower rate than it should have been. His correct score is 72% pro-business legislative votes aligned with OCBC's policy positions.

OCBC takes position and advocates on behalf of dozens of state bills throughout the legislative session. In 2011, OCBC identified 30 bills to track the votes of the OC legislative delegation. The list of these bills was provided to legislative members in May 2011. The adjusted calculation of the legislator's "score" is based on the number of times a legislator voted with OCBC, divided by the total number of times a legislator was present for a vote.

The mistaken score has been posted on the OCBC website since last October. The information was recently used by Assembly candidate Leslie Daigle in campaign material, which is when the error was discovered. The error in information lies entirely with OCBC and not Ms. Daigle.

Orange County Business Council regrets the error and confusion this may have caused both candidates for Assembly. We commend Mr. Mansoor and Ms. Daigle for their willingness to serve our community in elected office and contend that each candidate should be judged fairly on their abilities and accomplishments.
