Last week, the Virginia League of Conservation Voters released the 2010 General Assembly Conservation Scorecard. This year, 1 Senator and 18 Delegates were designated "Conservation Heroes" for scoring 100% on a variety of conservation related votes ranging from offshore drilling to air quality to bipartisan redistricting.
The offshore drilling votes have gained added significance since the catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, the Virginian Pilot spoke with a number of legislators who said thye would vote differently if those votes were held today. See additional news coverage of the Scorecard below.
