According to the League of Conservation Voters’ tabulation of twenty critical votes impacting the environment, the scores for our local Congressmen in 2007 were: Altmire, 80%; Doyle, 80%; Murtha, 75%; English, 35%; and Murphy, 20%. In general the congressmen voted along party lines, but not always. For example, Altmire voted for a failed amendment that would have eliminated funding for the Mexico wolf recovery program. In the case of the Smith amendment to HR 2754, Altmire also voted with Republicans to disallow overseas organizations that are otherwise ineligible for U.S. family planning funding to continue receiving contraceptives from the U.S. government.
