The Connecticut League of Conservation Voters (CTLCV) awarded Rep. Haddad a 100 percent rating for his support and advocacy of environmental initiatives in their 2014 Environmental Scorecard. CTLCV also commended Haddad for his leadership on water planning issues during the 2014 legislative session.
“I am proud to have supported so many important bills to help protect the environment, including the bill to develop a state water plan and the bill to protect Connecticut from fracking,” said Rep. Haddad. “I am honored to receive such a high rating from the League and be recognized for my advocacy on the water planning bill. Connecticut continues to set a positive example for the rest of the country on important environmental policies thanks to the hard work of great groups like the League of Conservation Voters.”
“In only his second term, Gregory Haddad has proven himself to be a solidly pro-environment legislator who we can count on to take the lead on issues to protect our air, land water, wildlife and advance issues related to energy and transportation,” said Lori Brown, Executive Director of CTLCV. “Gregg especially worked hard on water issues in the state of CT. This has been a nagging 3 year problem, that thanks to Gregg’s help, we have put in place a process to create a state wide water plan.”
The CTLV annual environmental scorecard grades state lawmakers based on how they voted on significant environmental legislation that came up during the 2014 legislative session. Formed in 1998, the bipartisan CTLCV works on laws that affect Connecticut's air, water, wildlife, open space, transportation, energy choices, and health.
