  • 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. George Bachrach, President Erica Mattison, Legislative Director Highlights of the Session projects.

  • In One of the Most Dramatic Upsets in Olympic History, the Underdog U.S
    In one of the most dramatic upsets in Olympic history, the underdog U.S. hockey team, made up of college players, defeats the four-time defending gold-medal winning Soviet team at the XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York. The Soviet squad, previously regarded as the finest in the world, fell to the youthful American team 4-3 before a frenzied crowd of 10,000 spectators. Two days later, the Americans defeated Finland 4-2 to clinch the hockey gold. The Soviet team had captured the previous four Olympic hockey golds, going back to 1964, and had not lost an Olympic hockey game since 1968. Three days before the Lake Placid Games began, the Soviets routed the U.S. team 10-3 in an exhibition game at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The Americans looked scrappy, but few blamed them for it--their average age, after all, was only 22, and their team captain, Mike Eruzione, was recruited from the obscurity of the Toledo Blades of the International League. Few had high hopes for the seventh-seeded U.S. team entering the Olympic tournament, but the team soon silenced its detractors, making it through the opening round of play undefeated, with four victories and one tie, thus advancing to the four-team medal round. The Soviets, however, were seeded No. 1 and as expected went undefeated, with five victories in the first round. On Friday afternoon, February 22, the American amateurs and the Soviet dream team met before a sold-out crowd at Lake Placid.

  • S. 2325 Lead Sponsor: Senator Sonia Chang-Díaz
    AN ACT MODERNIZING THE FOUNDATION BUDGET FOR THE 21ST CENTURY S. 2325 Lead Sponsor: Senator Sonia Chang-Díaz THE PROBLEM: Every day, students across Massachusetts walk into schools that are facing dire challenges. Over the last decade, school districts have been forced to make difficult cuts year after year. Classrooms across the state have lost critical services and programs, including social- emotional supports like counselors, wrap-around services, resources like technology and books, professional development, arts classes, and preschool programs. On top of these cuts, Massachusetts has one of the worst achievement gaps in the United States – ranking 48th nationally for the achievement gap between affluent and poor students. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. In 1993, Massachusetts passed the Education Reform Act— which established the “Foundation Budget” to make sure all school districts could provide their students with a quality education. Unfortunately, in the 25 years since, we have done little to update the formula, and it’s now outdated, hampering districts’ efforts to provide each student with the quality education they deserve. The 2015 Foundation Budget Review Commission (FBRC) found that health care and special education costs have far surpassed assumptions built into the original formula. The FBRC also found that the original formula drastically understated the resources necessary to close achievement gaps for low-income and English Language Learner students. In all, the bipartisan commission of experts found that Massachusetts is underestimating the cost of education by $1-2 billion every year THE SOLUTION: To make good on our bedrock promise of providing every student in Massachusetts with equal access to quality education, we need to significantly revise the foundation budget formula.

(UPI)--An attorney plans to file a multi- million-dollar lawsuit against Korean Airlines and the So- viet Union later this week. Charles Herrmann is representing survivors of 47 Korean passengers who were aboard the KAL plane shot down over Soviet territory last September. He says he will put his "heart and soul into sticking the Soviet Union." ' UT (AP)--There seems to be some progress in efforts to L ig a stable cease-fire to war-ravaged Lebanon. Lebanese officials say Syria and Israel have given President Ge- mayel's government the go-ahead for a Saudi-Arabian- sponsored plan to separate Lebanon's warring factions. The proposal would establish buffer zones in Beirut's outskirts and the neighboring mountains. Eight-hundred observers from Italy and Greece will be requested to police the zones. DALLAS (UPI)--Testimony resumed today in a federal courtroom in the $43 million lawsuit against the makers and sellers of a 22-caliber handgun that left a high school sophomore a quadriplegic. An attorney for 21-year-old David Clancy says his case is aimed at using product liability law to force cheap handguns off the market. Clancy was wounded in 1977 by an accidental discharge from a classmate's revolver. PIKEVILLE, Md. (UPI)--Baltimore County police say a reputed tax protester surrendered his handgun and gave up peacefully last night after a 10-hour standoff. A spokesman says the incident began when police tried to evict John Sibiga from his home for failure to meet a bank payment.

Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution guarantees all people a right to a healthy and sustainable environment. For generations, that constitutional promise has been merely a suggestion for communities of color, low income and immigrant and refugee communities. Years of data collection and organizing demonstrate that communities of color, in particular, bear the majority of environmental harms and receive significantly fewer environmental benefits—leading to negative health outcomes and financial risk.
