Scott Garrett is not a fan
Congressman Garrett has possibly the worst record on the environment of any politician in America since official ratings started in the 1970’s.
Environmental groups such as Sierra Club, League of Conservation Voters, Friends of the Earth Action, and American Wilderness Coalition consistently give Garrett grades in the 0 to 25% range regarding his votes on environmentally-related legislation. (Project Vote Smart)
The interest group Republicans for Environmental Protection gave Garrett a 17% rating in 2008. Even Republicans find it hard to support the Congressman.
Brent Blackwelder, the President of the respected environmental organization Friends of the Earth Action recently said this about Rep. Garrett’s environmental record:
“Rep. Garrett has almost always voted against the health of New Jersey families, against the conservation of energy, against the protection of important parks and natural areas. He repeatedly sides with special interests against the public interest. It’s time for him to go.” (more…)
