Protect Your Collective Bargaining Rights!
PROTECT YOUR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING RIGHTS! On April 26th, a majority of the members of the Massachusetts of House Representatives voted to dramatically restrict the rights of municipal employees to collectively bargain over the issue of health insurance. It is critically important that you let your Representative know how you feel about their vote. These Representatives voted IN FAVOR of your collective bargaining rights: Democrats: Geraldo Alicea Denise Andrews Bruce Ayers Michael Brady Paul Brodeur Thomas Calter Christine Canavan James Cantwell Tackey Chan Nicholas Collins Edward Coppinger Geraldine Creedon Mark Cusack Marcos Devers James Dwyer Lori Ehrlich Christopher Fallon Robert Fennell John Fresolo Denise Garlick Coleen Garry John Mahoney Paul Mark James Miceli Kevin Murphy Rhonda Nyman James O’Day Thomas Petrolati Denise Provost Kathi-Anne Reinstein Carl Sciortino Joyce Spiliotis Thomas Stanley David Sullivan Walter Timilty Timothy Toomey Cleon Turner Marty Walsh Steven Walsh Alice Wolf Republicans: Bradford Hill Daniel Winslow If your state representative stood up for you, it is important that you call them and thank them for their support.

2013-2014 Legislative Scorecard
Legislative Scorecard Votes and Leadership 2013-14 LEGISLATIVE SESSION - 1 - This is the inaugural edition of the Environmental League of Massachusetts legislative scorecard. We produced this scorecard to inform citizens about how their legislators voted on important environmental issues. We are pleased and grateful for the support of so many environmental leaders in the legislature. The scorecard relies first on roll call votes on legislation that deals with environmental and energy issues. Because there are so few roll call votes each session—and often these votes are unanimous—we have scored additional actions by legislators to further distinguish environmental champions. Bonus points were awarded to legislators who introduced bills that were ELM priorities or who introduced important amendments, particularly budget amendments to increase funding for state environmental agencies. In addition, we subtracted points for legislators who introduced legislation or amendments that we opposed. We want to recognize leadership and courage, in addition to votes, and have made every attempt to be fair and transparent in our scoring. Much happens during the legislative process that is impractical to score such as committee redrafts, committee votes to move or hold a bill, and measures that would improve flawed legislation. We have not attempted to include these actions, but we recognize that they greatly influence the process and outcomes. None of the bills or amendments scored here should be a surprise to legislators in terms of ELM’s support or opposition. Going forward, ELM will include votes and other actions that support additional revenues for transportation and promote transit, walking and biking.

UPDATE THE BOTTLE BILL YES! I pledge to help. The Bottle Bill (5¢ deposit on some beverage containers) is the single most successful recycling tool in the country. But the Updated Bottle Bill—adding water, juice and sports drinks to the deposits—is being blocked by powerful business interests on Beacon Hill. The Updated Bottle Bill (H890/S1650) will reduce litter, increase recycling, and save cities and towns money in trash disposal and litter cleanup. In fact, 208 cities and towns, 375 small businesses, and 90 state and local organizations have endorsed our campaign and joined the effort to pass this bill. Despite this overwhelming support, the Updated Bottle Bill has been “bottled up” in the Legislature for more than a decade. It has never been brought to the floor for a vote, and we need your help now. No more delays! Here’s how you can help: STEP 1: To find out the name of your representative and senator, go to www.WhereDoIVoteMA.com STEP 2: Find out where your legislators stand on the Updated Bottle Bill. See the back of this flyer for a complete guide. STEP 3: Call your state senator and representative today. The State House main number is (617) 722- 2000. Ask for your senator (and then call back and ask for your representative). Tell them: “I am a voter in (name your town) and I support the Updated Bottle Bill. There should be no more delays, this bill needs to come up for a vote now.” (If your legislator supports the Updated Bottle Bill, make sure to thank them, if they are undecided or not supporting the bill, ask them to consider supporting the bill.) STEP 4: After you call, please email [email protected] to let us know your legislator’s response. -
