The 2010 Scorecard is here!  This year’s legislative session saw groundbreaking victories for public health, wildlife, and the new energy economy.  The new edition of the Colorado Legislative Conservation Scorecard covers all of the biggest conservation bills in the remarkable 2010 session.

For the first time in the Scorecard’s history, a majority of legislators scored a perfect 100%.  Currently, twenty-eight legislators have perfect Lifetime scores.

On the other end of the spectrum, the lowest scores this year were the 8%s achieved by Senator Schultheis and Representative Liston.  Each lawmaker only voted the pro-conservation stance once.
