11. Yes -excerpts below - she voted "wrong" on Senate mark=up but voted "right" on final bill
Members who served only part of a term are scored only on votes
cast while in office.

Key Senate 2006 Children’s Votes
1 Senate’s Tax Cuts for the Wealthy
2 Congress’s Tax Cuts for the Wealthy
3 Paying for Tax Cuts
4 Increasing Education Funding
5 Increasing Education and Health Care Funding
6 Helping with Heating Costs
7 FY 2007 Budget Resolution
8 Estate Tax Repeal
9 Increasing the Minimum Wage
10 Minimum Wage and Estate Tax Reduction

On page 24 the tax cut is listed as the bad Senate version of the bill vote that Hillary made.- but she voted "correctly" on the final bill!

The bill included provisions exempting
certain households with incomes between $100,000 and $500,000 from paying the Alternative
Minimum Tax.

CDF Action Council Position: No. The Senate’s $70 billion tax cut widened the gap between
rich and poor and eliminated revenues needed for crucial children and family investments, which
the Senate had cut earlier by $39 billion. In addition, it enabled passage of the fiscal year 2006
Tax Reconciliation bill, which finalized these tax cuts for the wealthy. Seventy billion dollars would
guarantee funding to cover all uninsured children for almost five years.
