The League of Conservation Voters gave U.S. Rep Cathy McMorris Rodgers another failing grade for her votes on environmental issues in 2016, bringing the congresswoman’s “lifetime score” down to 3 percent.
“Despite 2016 being the hottest year on record, some congressional leaders put polluters’ agenda ahead of the health of Washingtonians, environmental protections and climate action,” Shannon Murphy, president of the Washington Conservation Voters, said in a statement. “This is particularly disappointing from members of the Washington delegation where we have long had a bipartisan tradition of environmental protection.”
