Nevada representatives get schooled

The League of Conservation Voters released their congressional scorecard for 2011, which scores state representatives based on their support for environmentally-supportive Congress. Scores for Nevada’s legislators were a mixed bag.

Republican scores were low, to say the least: Sen. John Ensign and Rep. Mark Amodei scored a zero, Rep. Joe Heck received a 9 percent, and Sen. Dean Heller was given an 11 percent.

Democrats scored significantly higher: Rep. Shelley Berkley’s 94 percent is 2 percent higher than her 2010 score, and Sen. Harry Reid sits at a solid 100 percent.
