Scorecards
Taxpayers League of Minnesota

The scorecard gives each legislator a score based on how they voted in the prior legislative term on tax issues and “their efforts to balance the state budget without a tax increase.” The organization also compiles a legislator’s individual "Lifetime Score."[3]

Lillie received a score of 71 percent in the 2012 scorecard, ranking 15th out of all 67 Minnesota State Senate members.[4]
2011
