Not Supporting the Environment in Maryland

Every year, the Maryland League of Conservation Voters publishes a legislative scorecard to provide voters with a clear idea of which elected officials work to promote environment and which do not. Here is a list of those who checked in with the lowest scores this year:

Senate (20% or less):
David R. Brinkley (R)
Richard F. Colburn (R)
Janet Greenip (R)
Larry E. Haines (R)
Andrew P. Harris (R)
Nancy Jacobs (R)
Allan H. Kittleman (R)
Alex X. Mooney (R)
E.J. Pipkin (R)
J. Lowell Stoltzfus (R)

House (0%):
Gail Bates (R)
Joseph C. Boteler III (R)
Donald H. Dwyer, Jr. (R)
Jeannie Haddaway (R)
Rick Impallaria (R)
J.B. Jennings (R)
Tony McConkey (R)
Pat McDonough (R)
Warren E. Miller (R)
Anthony J. O'Donnell (R)
Andrew Serafini (R)
Christopher B. Shank (R)
Donna Stifler (R)
Nancy R. Stocksdale (R)

So what do all of these folks have in common?

That’s right -- They’re all members of the GOP.

Overall, Republican senators averaged a measly 12 percent, while their colleagues in the House scored just 29 percent.

Delightful.
