Pot Project: Malek 2nd Worst Solon

Idaho State Rep. Luke Malek (R-Couer d'Alene) is ranked second in a list of the country’s "Worst State Legislators of 2013" released Friday by the nation's largest marijuana policy organization, the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP). The seven state representatives and one senator were selected based on their legislative efforts to maintain or expand marijuana prohibition policies, as well as statements they made, during the 2013 legislative sessions. The list includes Rep. Malek because he helped pass a resolution opposing the legalization of marijuana "for any purpose" because he thinks medical marijuana is a "farcical predatory scheme"/Marijuana Policy Project.

Question: Is it a bad thing to be considered 2nd worst legislator in USA by the Marijuana Policy Project?
