REP. GONZALEZ RECOGNIZED BY LEAGUE OF
CONSERVATION VOTERS FOR 100% PRO-ENVIRONMENTAL VOTING

Representative Minnie Gonzalez (D-Hartford) has been recognized by the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters (CTLCV) for her 100% support of environmentally sound legislation during the 2010 legislative session.

“I am honored by this report from the CTLCV. My constituents suffer from higher cases of asthma, allergies and other health problems than residents in the suburbs so environmental issues rank highly among the problems that affect our cities,” Rep. Gonzalez said. “I will continue to monitor legislation affecting the environment and doing my best to make sure we prioritize a healthy environment.”

The Connecticut League of Conservation Voters (CTLCV) is a bipartisan, statewide, nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting Connecticut's environment by advocating environmentally beneficial legislation. The group identifies and highlights important bills that affect air, water, wildlife, open space, and health.

CTLCV’s Environmental Scorecard assesses both lawmakers’ votes on environmental legislation and their roles in championing specific issues. Environmental issues this year included energy reform, expansion of recycling, energy efficient products and integrated pest management.

Minnie represents Hartford’s 3rd Assembly District. She is Majority Whip at Large and serves on the Appropriations, Judiciary and Public Safety and Security Committees.
