The 2012 session could have been a big year for big issues. From fair redistricting to limits on campaign Governor Cuomo’s environmental legacy now hangs in the contributions, we were supposed to see important changes balance. The decisions he makes will have lasting impacts in the way business is conducted in the Capitol. But these on New York State’s environment and his own political good government reforms came up short—much like the future. In the end, it may be hard to run for president with environmental agenda. a legacy of toxic contamination dragging along behind you.

According to the New York Public Interest Research Green Hope & Disappointment Group, both houses of the Legislature passed fewer bills In good news (and there is some!), a measure to increase this year than in any year since at least 1914. Among the monies for the Environmental Protection Fund (EPF), bills stopped in their tracks were all of the Super Bills, the the state’s “green” piggy bank, leapfrogged through the environmental community’s highest legislative priorities. legislative process and landed at the Governor’s feet at the end of session.

Hanna (R – Henrietta) New Yorkers should expect more from a former leader of the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Two-year incumbent Sean Hanna, ranking minority member on the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee, earns this dubious honor for a host of reasons. In floor debates during the past two sessions, Assembly member Hanna urged his colleagues to vote “no” on legislation to curb the pollution that is changing our climate. Despite voluminous evidence from the scientific community that climate change is happening at a rate faster than previously predicted, the Assembly member insists on spouting worn-out rhetoric from the climate denier blogosphere. He opposes all state-based measures to cut greenhouse gas pollution in New York, including the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a effort spearheaded by then-Governor George Pataki when Assembly member Hanna was a regional administrator at the DEC. The Assembly member also sponsored legislation to repeal the state’s pesticide laws, which provide the public with many safeguards from these dangerous chemicals. Thankfully, this really bad idea died in the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee. With a lifetime failing score of 45, and an abysmal 2012 score of 38, Assembly member Hanna has some explaining to do on his environmental record.

tip o’ the HAT

Because of the state’s inaction on fracking, climate change, clean energy, and the other important environmental issues of the year, the 2012 Voters’ Guide does not name a Legislator of the Year. Instead, the Guide tips its hat to two Assembly members that stood out this legislative session.

Robert K. Sweeney (D – Lindenhurst) Assembly member Robert Sweeney, Chair of the Assembly’s Environmental Conservation Committee, continues to build upon his record championing for New York’s environment. Under his leadership, the Assembly passed four of the five 2012 Super Bills and advanced a solid response to the Governor’s budget proposal. The Assembly member also secured passage of a good bill to curtail the spread of invasive species, as well as a bill to inform and protect the public of accidental releases of sewage into the state’s waters. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it Uagain: Assembly member Sweeney is the go-to legislator for good environmental bills in the State Capitol. We are grateful for his hard work on behalf of the environmental community.

George Latimer (D – Mamaroneck) Assembly member George Latimer, member of the Assembly’s Environmental Conservation Committee, distinguished himself in 2012 by sponsoring legislation to grow the state’s Environmental Protection Fund (EPF), a “green” piggy bank for environmental and green economic development projects across New York. Attempting to repair damage to the EPF from past cuts, the Assembly member proposed increasing the fund by using the unclaimed deposits consumers already pay on beer, soda, and water bottles. His hard work secured unanimous Upassage of the bill in his house—a less ambitious measure, based on the Assembly member’s concept, later passed both houses. We’re grateful to the Assembly member for standing up for New York’s environmental funding needs.
