Clean Water Action would like to announce the completion of its 2009-2010 Legislative Scorecard. Our scorecard grades state Senate and House members on their support of environmental issues based on their votes on important environmental legislation. The votes included in this scorecard took place during the 2009-2010 legislative biennium and focus heavily, although not exclusively, on votes that would seriously affect the issues of clean, renewable energy, water quality and toxins in our environment—the primary areas of focus for Clean Water Action.

Overall, the legislature had a score of 71% on bills and floor amendments to protect our environment. The 2009-2010 scorecard has the scores for every Minnesota legislator. (PDF 414KB)

Safeguarding the environment and health of our families from toxic chemicals, pollution and dirty energy choices should be important to all of our state legislators, regardless of party affiliation. We hope to see this score increase to 2011 as Clean Water Action continues to work to pass and defend policies to protect Minnesota’s resources.
