The Virginia League of Conservation Voters has released its ninth annual Legislation Conservation Scorecard. The scorecard ranks 140 members of the General Assembly based on their votes on bills ranging from the application of fertilizers (to reduce runoff into state waters) to performance standards for state road projects, from the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions generally to uranium mining and natural gas rate decoupling.
Only one member of the state Senate — Sen. R. Edward Houck, D-Spotsylvania — made it into the League’s list of “Legislative Heroes.” By contrast, 40 members of the House of Delegates were recognized.
