Dear Maine Conservationist,

This year marks the 25th anniversary of MCV’s Environmental Scorecard, and what a year it’s been. The challenges we faced in 2011 were a timely reminder of how important MCV’s mission is to Maine’s economy and environment.

A struggling economy coupled with new political leadership in Augusta ushered in a fierce wave of aggressive attacks against the laws that protect our natural areas, clean air and water, wildlife and children’s health. The breadth and audacity of this assault were unprecedented.

In response to this threat, we came together like never before. People and businesses from across the state and from all walks of life rose up and defended our environment by writing, calling, emailing and meeting directly with their elected officials. The message was loud and clear: Maine’s environment and our economy go hand-in-hand.

With a few notable exceptions, legislators listened. You helped defeat attempts to: roll back protections for wildlife and natural areas; repeal Maine’s new ban on the toxic chemical bisphenol A (BPA) in consumer and children’s products; withdraw Maine from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative; lift the state’s long-standing ban on commercial billboards; and weaken Maine’s bottle bill, our most successful recycling effort.

How did your elected officials vote during the session? Did they support human health or toxic pesticides? Pollution or clean water? Bulldozers or healthy forests?

We know you look to MCV’s Environmental Scorecard for non-partisan, objective information. For 25 years, we’ve publicly reported how each legislator voted on bills protecting Maine’s environment. In addition, we feature high and low points of the session and highlight examples of political courage on both sides of the aisle.

We give you the score. The rest is up to you. It’s so important for your legislators to hear from you with praise or with disappointment. Please take a moment to contact your elected officials. You can do this directly from our website at www.maineconservation.org.

Thank you for your support this session and for standing with us to protect Maine’s natural heritage. As we look toward autumn and another legislative session in January, you can count on MCV to keep score and make sure Maine’s environment remains a priority for generations to come.

Sincerely,

Welcome

2011 Environmental Scorecard 1

As the first bells of the 2011 legislative session rang, Maine Conservation Voters was facing a host of unknowns. What would Governor LePage’s approach be to Maine’s environment? Would Maine’s House and Senate stand solidly behind our water, land and wildlife, or would we see weakening of core protections? And most importantly, would lawmakers recognize and embrace Maine’s environment as central to our economic prosperity, or would they revive the old false choice of pitting one against each other?

To learn the Governor’s position, we didn’t have long to wait. Governor LePage jumped into the session with his proposal for LD 1, a “regulatory reform” bill. Many provisions would have retreated from long-standing bipartisan policies, and put our health, our environment and our economy at unnecessary risk.

The response from Maine people was immediate and forceful. Within days, the halls of the State

A New Page for Maine’s Environment

House were filled with loggers, fishermen, Maine Guides and others whose livelihood depends on Maine’s natural resources. They came from all over the state and included mothers, scientists, small business owners, community leaders and municipal officials. They spoke out in defense of Maine’s water, land and wildlife as central to our economy and our quality of life.

In the end, legislators were able to sort through the good and the harmful elements of LD 1 and pass a bill that improved how Maine’s regulatory system works. Republican and Democratic leaders worked hard to bring people together and find common sense solutions. Their efforts clearly showed they understood that good jobs and a clean environment go hand-in-hand.

While it wasn’t all good news in the Legislature,

Gov. LePage

harm was minimized. And some of our earlier questions were answered. While Governor LePage’s approach to environmental policy is generally out-of-step with Maine values, the good news is that the Legislature listens to Maine people and will stand up strongly for common sense laws that protect our clean waters, natural areas and wildlife.

Now that the session is over, we are watching closely to make sure there is no undermining of our environmental policies from within the departments of oversight. At the same time, we must plan for next year, when we will face additional threats to Maine’s North Woods, clean energy, smart planning and development and the state’s ability to enforce important environmental laws. We are confident that the power of Maine people and the leadership of Maine legislators will protect and defend the good health, good jobs and quality of life that Maine’s environment provides to all of us.

LD 228 - Pesticides Sponsored by: Rep. Peter EdgecombAn Act To Revise Notification Requirements for Pesticide Application

LD 228 repealed Maine’s pesticide notification registry, a common sense and effective system requiring that neighbors and landowners be notified in advance of aerial and air-blaster pesticide spraying near their homes. Over 1,800 people had signed up for the registry in the program’s first year. Pesticides can cause serious health problems, including birth defects, cancer, asthma and developmental disabilities. Pesticide spray can drift off-target and contaminate organically grown produce.Pro-Environment Vote: NoHouse Roll Call #99 (June 1, 2011): Yes 79; No 69; Absent 2Senate Roll Call #110 (May 25, 2011): Yes 21; No 14Final Outcome: Bill passed and signed by the Governor

LD 412 - BPA Sponsored by: Rep. James HamperResolve, Regarding Legislative Review of Portions of Chapter 882: Designation of Bisphenol A as a Priority Chemical and Regulation of Bisphenol A in Children’s Products, a Major Substantive Rule of the Department of Environmental Protection

The Legislature overwhelmingly voted to ban the toxic chemical bisphenol A (BPA) in reusable food and beverage containers including baby bottles and sippy cups. BPA is linked to a range of health risks, and safer alternatives are already available in the marketplace.Pro-Environment Vote: YesHouse Roll Call #17 (April 7, 2011): Yes 145; No 3; Absent 3 Senate Roll Call #33 (April 12, 2011): Yes 35; No 0Final Outcome: Bill passed without the Governor’s signature

LD 1416 - Energy Code Sponsored by: Rep. Jonathan McKane

An Act To Provide Options to Municipalities Concerning the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code

The Legislature voted to weaken Maine’s Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC) by exempting all towns with a population of less than 4,000 (400 of Maine’s 526 towns). MUBEC provides minimum quality, safety and energy-efficiency building standards. The exemption means that Mainers living in small towns will not be protected from construction of lower quality buildings that waste more energy, result in increased air pollution and cost more to heat.Pro-Environment Vote: NoHouse Roll Call #173 (June 14, 2011): Yes 76; No 71; Absent 3Senate Roll Call #213 (June 9, 2011): Yes 19; No 15; Excused 1Final Outcome: Bill passed and signed by the Governor

LD 159 - Vernal Pools Amendment sponsored by: Sen. Ron CollinsAn Act To Foster Economic Development by Improving Administration of the Laws Governing Site Location of Development and Storm Water Management

With strong bipartisan support, the Senate rejected an amendment from Sen. Ron Collins (R-York) that would have reduced the current, scientifically-supported 250 foot vernal pool consultation zone down to 75 feet. Significant vernal pools are seasonal wetlands that provide critical habitat for a variety of wildlife, including wood frogs, spotted salamanders, and wood turtles, and serve as feeding areas for deer, bear, moose and birds. The existing 250 foot zone for significant vernal pools does not restrict building, but rather requires consultation and careful planning to receive a permit.Pro-Environment Vote: No (to an amendment that would reduce protections to 75 ft)No House voteSenate Roll call# 201 (June 8, 2011): Yes 6; No 29Final Outcome: Bill passed and signed by the Governor

LD 1534 - North Woods Sponsored by: Rep. Jeffrey GiffordAn Act To Reform the Land Use and Planning Authority in the Unorganized Territories

LD 1534 set up a study committee that seems biased toward abolishing the Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC), the state agency charged with protecting Maine’s vast North Woods. Policymakers had the option to support the Committee’s Minority Report – a balanced legislative study to identify ways to improve LURC. Instead, the majority of lawmakers voted for a study process that seems to have a pre-determined mission of dismantling LURC and moving its planning and regulatory functions to counties that include portions of the unorganized territories of northern Maine.Pro-Environment Vote: NoHouse Roll Call #156 (June 9, 2011): Yes 75; No 65; Absent 10Senate Roll Call #223 (June 10, 2011): Yes 22; No 12; Excused 1Final Outcome: Bill passed and signed by the Governor

2011 Environmental Scorecard 5

Page 8: 2011 Environmental Scorecard - Maine Conservation Voters · 2011 Environmental Scorecard 3. LD 228 - Pesticides Sponsored by: Rep. Peter Edgecomb An Act To Revise Notification Requirements

In 1986, a group of prominent and concerned conservationists came together to form Maine Conservation Voters and produced Maine’s first Environmental Scorecard. The first of its kind in Maine, the Scorecard tracked each legislator’s votes on key environmental issues during the two-year session. Since that time, the Scorecard has evolved into an annual publication that holds our elected officials accountable on bills that affect Maine’s clean air, water quality, land and public health.

How to use this Scorecard

Keeping Score for 25 Years

On the following pages, you’ll find the scores of each of the members of the State House and Senate. A legislator’s lifetime score is a cumulative average of tracked votes for complete legislative sessions.

represents a pro-environment vote

represents an anti-environment vote

is an excused absence (due to illness or family leave) and does not count toward a legislator’s rating

is an unexcused absence; it is counted negatively since it has the same effect as an anti-environment vote

denotes a legislator’s first term in officepublic health

2011 Environmental Scorecard 13

Page 16: 2011 Environmental Scorecard - Maine Conservation Voters · 2011 Environmental Scorecard 3. LD 228 - Pesticides Sponsored by: Rep. Peter Edgecomb An Act To Revise Notification Requirements

This legislative session, dozens of bills were introduced that would have weakened decades’ worth of protections for natural areas, clean air and water, wildlife and children’s health. Fortunately, legislators on both sides of the aisle defended our environmental safeguards and demonstrated political courage, showing that conservation is not a partisan issue.

Legislative scores tell only part of the story. We report here the individual actions, not reflected in the scores, that legislators took impacting our environment.

Cheers to the Environment and Natural Resources CommitteeMany of the attacks on our environmental protections were minimized thanks to the incredible bipartisan work of the entire Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) Committee. Led by Committee Chairs Sen. Tom Saviello and Rep. Jim Hamper, the ENR Committee crafted scientifically-supported proposals that safeguard Maine’s environmental laws.

Sen. Saviello and ENR Committee ranking minority member, Rep. Bob Duchesne, played key roles in crafting compromises that protected vernal pools, significant wildlife habitat, shoreland and water quality.

Rep. Hamper and ENR Committee member, Sen. Seth Goodall, worked diligently to find common ground and a bipartisan compromise on the Kid Safe Products Act that keeps our families safe. In addition, Sen. Saviello worked with the ENR Committee and with the administration to ensure the ban on the toxic chemical bisphenol A (BPA) was enacted.

ENR Committee member, Rep. Melissa Walsh Innes, sponsored and helped pass a new bill that reduces pollution, cuts costs and creates jobs by expanding opportunities for the responsible recycling of

Beyond the Roll Calls

electronic waste from computers, TVs and printers.

The ENR Committee also defeated several attempts to weaken Maine’s successful bottle recycling and redemption law.

Setbacks in Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry CommitteeThe Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (ACF) Committee, unfortunately, did not demonstrate the same harmony and bipartisan leadership as the ENR Committee. Chaired by Sen. Roger Sherman and Rep. Peter Edgecomb, the ACF Committee blocked constructive questions and discourse in public hearings, advanced the repeal of the pesticide notification registry and recommended a study group that seems designed to abolish the Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC).

Despite this backdrop, ACF Committee ranking minority member, Rep. Jeff McCabe, and Rep.

Andy O’Brien, worked hard to keep the pesticide notification registry and lobbied on the House floor to defeat its repeal. Sen. Elizabeth Schneider and Rep. Jim Dill offered a compromise amendment to keep the registry. Sen. Schneider fought for an open and democratic process when the chair tried to limit committee questions during the bill’s public hearing. On the first House floor vote, seven brave Republicans voted against repealing our right-to-know about pesticide spraying: Reps. Pat Flood, Les Fossel, Ryan Harmon, Jon McKane, Kim Olsen, Deb Sanderson and Frederick Wintle.

ACF Committee members, Reps. McCabe, O’Brien, Dill, Peter Kent and Sen. Schneider, defended attacks against the Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC), the state agency charged with protecting Maine’s North Woods. Rep. McCabe introduced a bill that would reform LURC while keeping its structure intact. Several other legislators, including Reps. Duchesne, Brad Moulton, Russell Black, Jarrod Crockett and John Martin, helped avert the outright elimination of LURC this session.

New Committee Crafted LD 1The Joint Select Committee on Regulatory Fairness and Reform, chaired by Sen. Jon Courtney and Rep. John McKane, dealt with one bill – LD 1. Originally, LD 1 put our health, our environment and our economy at unnecessary risk by weakening or repealing several landmark environmental protections. In the end, the committee worked in a bipartisan way to find common-sense solutions that improved how Maine’s regulatory system works without sacrificing our environmental laws.

In particular, committee members Sens. Saviello and Goodall and Reps. Duchesne, Michael Carey and Jim Parker did an extensive amount of work gathering information and testimony in addressing changes to the Board of Environmental Protection. Additionally, committee members Reps. Sharon Treat and Linda Valentino, added important information on a variety of issues that helped ensure the integrity of our environmental laws were maintained.

Mixed Reviews on Clean EnergyHouse Chair of the Energy, Utilities and Technology (EUT) Committee, Rep. Stacey Fitts and Sen. Phil Bartlett, played key roles in ensuring Maine’s continued participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) – a partnership among ten Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states to reduce carbon dioxide pollution. Rep. Fitts also demonstrated courage and leadership by opposing Governor LePage’s bill to shift Maine’s energy policy away from renewable energy sources. He also sponsored and helped pass a law that requires the State to develop a plan to cut Maine’s consumption of oil by 30% by 2030 and by 50% by 2050.

Meanwhile, Sen. Chris Rector, Chair of the Committee on Labor, Commerce, Research and Economic Development, led his committee to issue a unanimous

report that would have maintained Maine’s Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC), which provides minimum quality, safety and energy-efficiency standards for homes and businesses. Unfortunately, the State and Local Government Committee reported a competing negative bill that weakens the code by exempting all towns with a population of less than 4,000 (400 of Maine’s 526 towns) from the code. Sen. Rector and Rep. Rob Hunt led the effort on the Senate and House floors to preserve Maine’s energy efficiency building code for all of Maine, but unfortunately, the law was weakened. Four courageous House Republicans, Reps. Jane Knapp, Kim Olsen, Dana Dow and Meredith Strang-Burgess voted against weakening MUBEC.

Other Positives and NegativesSen. Bill Diamond, Reps. Ann Peoples and Ed Mazurek, were leaders in defeating attempts to repeal the ban on billboard advertising on Maine’s public ways.

Reps. Charlie Priest and Maeghan Maloney were environmental champions in the Judiciary committee, arguing eloquently against the shortening of the Statute of Limitations law and harmful Takings legislation.

Rep. Moulton was a friend of sensible transportation by championing a bill expanding ZOOM bus service in southern Maine.

Rep. Dennis Keschl defended Maine’s clean water by helping to defeat a bill that would have undermined shoreland protections.

Only three House members voted against the ban on the toxic chemical BPA: Reps. Larry Dunphy, Beth O’Connor, and Heather Sirocki. In addition, Reps. Paulette Beaudoin, Kerri Prescott and Amy Volk were absent for the vote on this important children’s health bill.

Democracy was served a setback by a bill sponsored by House Speaker Bob Nutting to repeal same-day voter registration – a long-standing practice that has helped over 70,000 Maine voters participate in the last two general elections.

Just days before the end of the session, Senate President Kevin Raye introduced and passed a last-minute, counterproductive resolve opposing the creation of a national park in Maine.

Although Maine’s wildlife recreation and fishing industry contributes $1.5 billion to the state’s economy annually, the Legislature failed to support a constitutional amendment to dedicate a portion of the sales tax to support the Departments of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and Marine Resources. After five senators switched their votes, the bill failed in the State Senate by two votes.
