Read the Scorecard!

the heroes and zeroes in the state house

In 2011, the majority in the current legislature added a new twist to this Lansing environmental doublespeak. Instead of simply opposing stronger protections like those proposed in Clean Water Action’s 2011 Water Protection Agenda, state lawmakers sought to dismantle our existing protections, often under the banner of “job creation.”

"Highlights" from the scorecard include:

• 67 Legislators who receieved a failing grade
• 58 Legislators who scored "0"
• House Leadership passed H.R. 136 - a symbolic vote in favor of the recently rejected Keystone XL Pipeline
• The Legislature failed to advance any of the safeguards outlined in our 2011 Water Protection Agenda
