ADDABBO SCORES ONLY 22% ON ENVIRONMENT-HIS VOTE WAS 78% WRONG!
The New York League of Conservation Voters was founded in 1989 as the nonpartisan political arm of New York’s environmental community. NYLCV seeks to make conservation and natural resource protection top priorities with New York’s elected officials, political candidates, businesses, and voters by mobilizing New Yorkers as a political force on behalf of the environment. In 2004, NYLCV made 104 endorsements statewide, including races in New York City, Westchester, Long Island, the Capital District, Central and Western New York. 93% of NYLCV endorsed candidates were elected.
The New York League of Conservation Voters, in consultation with over 25 of the city's other leading environmental, public health, transportation and advocacy organizations selected nine pieces of legislation that they believed were the most important pieces of environmental legislation before the city council in 2006. His record is one of the worst! http://www.nylcv.org/sites/nylcv.civicactions.net/files/ScoreCard_6.pdf
