Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Rulli made concrete same-term legislative efforts toward the promise, including backing tax-reduction bills and introducing or cosponsoring deregulatory measures. However, the cited bills were only introduced or referred to committee and there is no evidence that they became law or otherwise produced enacted federal tax cuts or regulatory reductions attributable to him. Because the promised outcome was not delivered but there was a serious legislative attempt, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.

never unknown A for effort

Rulli made concrete same-term legislative efforts toward the promise by sponsoring or cosponsoring bills to exempt overtime pay from income tax, repeal the natural gas tax, and require agencies to repeal regulations before issuing new ones. However, the evidence shows these measures were introduced or remained in committee and did not become law, so the promised outcome of lowering taxes and cutting regulations was not delivered.
