CT LCV Legislative Scorecard on the Environment

Congratulations on a great scorecard presentation!

The only complaint seems to be from Democrats who got a lower score because they voted against the Governor's excellent plan to enhance and reveal the beauty of our beautiful state by removing commercial bill boards from State-owned properties.

Just because a good idea comes from the other side of the aisle doesn't mean that CTLCV won't score it!

Too often, it seems that Democrats have been making the important proposals for a better environment. CTLCV has been criticized for being too partisan, endorsing far more
Democrats than Republicans over the years. The sad truth is that in general Republicanx have not scored as well on important environemtal issues.

Scoring the billboard vote proves that good ideas will be supported by the environmental community no matter where they come from. Every legislator with good ideas to improve CT's environment is encouraged by CTLCV to bring them up, and to get recognition for a job well done.

Clean water, clean air and beautiful vistas don't have an R or a D attached!
David
