Connecticut League of Conservation Voters Scorecard

Hartford, CT – State Senator Tony Guglielmo (R-Stafford) was recognized by the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters (CTLCV) as earning a perfect 100% voting record on bills scored by the League during the 2012 session.

“I have been a longtime environmental champion and will always fighting for these issues in the Senate,” said Sen. Guglielmo. “This year I co-sponsored a bill to hold poachers accountable for trespassing and hunting animals on protected land. I was able to accomplish this with the support of the Connecticut Sportsman’s Coalition and the Connecticut Audubon Society.”

During the 2012 legislative session Senator Guglielmo also supported bills that will help to ensure the safe disposal of pharmaceuticals; reduce harmful levels of phosphorus in Connecticut’s rivers, lakes and streams and modernize the state’s coastal zone management laws in a way that balances environmental concerns with the rights of property owners.

“The League of Conservation Voters does its part each legislative session to remind elected officials of their responsibility to our environment,” said Sen. Guglielmo. “I am honored to have their recognition.”
