Pignanelli & Webb: Some outstanding performances at the Legislature:

"Best evidence that courage still exists in politics: Sen. Dan Liljenquist, who incurred the wrath of thousands by almost single-handedly reforming the public employee retirement system to avert a looming disaster.

"Best performance as Renaissance Man: Sen. Steve Urquhart sponsored legislation to prevent nasty abuse on the Internet and to broaden sex education in public schools. In other words, he is dragging us into the 21st century.

"Best performance without a title: Although no longer a member of legislative leadership, Sen. Curt Bramble remains Senate workhorse, personally guiding 61 pieces of legislation and playing significant roles in crafting most legislative compromises.

"Greatest surprise performance: Some politicos wondered if Senate Majority Leader Scott Jenkins could fill the shoes of his predecessor. He did it with dignity and style.

"Conscience of the Senate award: Sen. John Valentine distinguished himself in crafting and passing needed ethics legislation that is a legitimate alternative to the ethics initiatives.

"Best performance by newcomers: Although sworn in on the eve of the legislative session, Sens. Ben McAdams and Jerry Stevenson deftly utilized their local government experience and impressed all with their bipartisan approach. Sen. Stuart Adams, a legislative returnee, was also effective."
