CONSERVATION SCORECARDS

The Nevada Conservation League has been the source for effective conservation advocacy in Carson City since our founding in 2001. Biannually, we have produced the Conservation Scorecard, which evaluates our state legislators based upon their votes on key conservation issues during the legislative session.

The 2009 Legislative Conservation Scorecard will be released next month. 

At this time, we invite you to review our 2009 Nevada Gubernatorial Scorecard.

Background:

In the 2007 Legislative Conservation Scorecard, we created a page evaluating the Governor, and this year for the first time, we have produced a Gubernatorial Conservation Scorecard.  In Nevada, the executive branch wields a great deal of power, as our legislature only meets for 120 days every other year.  The Governor holds significant power in the areas of budgeting and appointments, and also has the ability to shape the debate on important policy issues. This is why we feel it is appropriate to evaluate the performance of the state’s Chief Executive. 

Please click below to access the 2009 Gubernatorial Scorecard.  Additionally we have provided for you a link to the recently released 2009 LCV Presidential Scorecard.  The 2009 Nevada Legislative Scorecard and the 2009 Congressional Scorecards are scheduled for release in March.
