Maryland League of Conservation Voters 2009 Legislative Scorecard

Posted under Environment

The Maryland League of Conservation Voters just released their annual legislative scorecard for 2009. Executive Director Cindy Schwartz writes, “Ultimately, this scorecard is about YOU — the conservation voter. It is a tool to see how well your representatives performed when it really mattered.”

In my home, District 30, Speaker Mike Busch (D) and Del. Virginia Clagett (D) both scored 100%. Del. Ron George (R) scored 50%, losing points for voting against: a bill that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2020, a bill requiring new septic systems to use nitrogen removing technology, and a bill that allows citizens to challenge in court permit decisions that affect our environment.

You can see how your representatives voted below:

 

Full disclosure: I am a candidate for Delegate in District 30.
