Scoring NY Legislators’ Environmental Records in the Trump Era


Albany – New York’s state legislators completed their first Legislative Session against the backdrop of the Trump presidency, at a time when Congress and the Administration have sought the roll back of dozens of health and environmental protections.

On October 11 at 11 a.m., EPL/Environmental Advocates will release the 2017 Environmental Scorecard via tele-press conference, which documents legislators’ voting records on issues such as climate action, plastic waste, water quality, and much more. 

The organization will also announce its environmental champions, and bestow the dubious Oil Slick Award to the legislator who has gone above and beyond in efforts to undermine and harm New York’s air, water, and climate.
