    2011 – 2012 Scorecard

    2011-2012 LEGISLATIVE BIENNIUM VERMONT Environmental Scorecard KNOW THE SCORE he Vermont League of Conservation Voters is a T nonpartisan political organization working to turn your environmental values into state priorities. We seek to make environmental conservation a top priority for candidates, elected officials and voters HOW THE VOTES WERE SELECTED T his scorecard is based on the legislative priorities of the environmental and conservation organizations that form the Vermont Environmental Collaborative, as well as other environmental issues. Determining factors in the decision to list particular votes include whether the vote was substantive or procedural in nature, and which vote had the greatest effect on the outcome of the legislation. Please note the limitations of this report. Only roll call votes have been included, as voice votes are not recorded by name. A simple numeric score beside a legislator’s name cannot convey the depth of discussions about the issues, nor can it clearly indicate which legislators worked to protect the environment and which legislators worked to undermine environmental protections. This is particularly true when it comes to work done in the committee room. Nevertheless, the scorecard is a great resource to determine a legislator’s environmental commitment. HOW THE VOTES WERE SCORED T he scores were calculated by dividing the number of pro-environmental votes cast by the number of votes the legislator had the opportunity to cast on environmental issues. Absences were counted as a negative vote. !"#$%&'(&)*##$+'%#$,-.+#%)&"-/&" ######01&)#.+&#203"&#'4/#0456#10.&"#7+&4#.+&)&#-"#'#.-& ######+-"#%&)80),'49&#-"#40.#"90)&/:##;-(&7-"&*#"-49& ######<&%#=-55&,#>&7&..#%)&"-/&/#01&)#.+&#10.&#04 ######2:?@?#A.+&#B8)'9(-4CB#D'4E*#+&#7'"#40.#"90)&/#04 ######.+'.#10.&: HOW TO USE THIS SCORECARD VT LCV has prepared this legislative scorecard to highlight legislators’ voting records on environmental issues.

    Emails Received Opposed to S.55

    From: Junia Dragon Date: Thu, Mar 15, 2018 at 8:54 AM Subject: Firearms bill To: Bill Botzow I have only just learned of a bill being presented (apparently today) suggested by a rep.from South Burlington. This will be an assault weapons ban, and increase gun control in other ways as well? I hope that you will vote against any such Bill that seeks to impinge on 2nd amendment rights in a state that has the least gun control and also the LEAST gun violence out of all 50 states. Vermont does not need help in this department. I moved here from an extremely dangerous environment (Washington DC during the murder capitol.of the world era). Law abiding citizens could not own guns. Gun control did not prevent shootings, it increased them. Good people Were left powerless to defend their families and homes, sitting ducks until the police arrived. In a rural area like this, I don't want to have to wait for police or a Sheriff to arrive were my family in distress. Criminals will always get guns no matter what the law. The guns already exist, and America is a country with gun culture (in particular Vermont). Banning weapon will do nothing to prevent school shootings. I believe we should instead be talking about arming volunteer teachers who have passed stringent training requirement, volunteer vets willing to stand at the doors of our schools, metal detectors and ID entry. Did you know that at MAUHS (where my daughter attends) their security is opening the doors at a certain time then LOCKING the kids in the school a few minutes later? Anyone could sneak in with a weapon during the morning rush on the front doors.
