TAX FOES GIVE HILL WORST RATING EVER
By VINCENT MORRIS

March 28, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton scored an "F" in her first year in Congress by voting for more new government spending than any of her 99 colleagues, an anti-tax group reports. Clinton set a record, getting a 3 percent rating for her 2001 voting record, the lowest score ever for a freshman and lower than any other senator, according to the National Taxpayers Union.
Sen. Charles Schumer scored 9 percent, according to the group, which reviewed 194 Senate votes cast last year for their relative impact on taxpayers.
Clinton dismissed the ranking: "Getting a high score from this group would mean cutting billions of dollars in aid for New York," she said through a spokesman.
Among New York House members, the lowest score went to Rep. Charles Rangel (D-Manhattan), with 6 percent, while Rep. Vito Fossella (R-S.I.) claimed the highest score, 68 percent.
