2013 Environmental Scorecard for the Oregon Legislature

SB 246

OCN Major Threat
Industrial Lands

While this bill may allow for industrial site development within urban areas and reduce pressure to expand urban growth boundaries, it also allows for public dollars to pay for natural resource mitigation — removing the incentive for developers to avoid or minimize damage to habitat as they build.

No is the pro-environment vote.

About the Scorecard

For more than 40 years, OLCV has protected Oregon's natural legacy. An essential part of our work is holding our elected officials accountable. The OLCV Environmental Scorecard is not only one of our most important accountability tools, but also a tradition. The first scorecard was published in 1973.

By sharing how each member of the Legislature voted on the most critical conservation bills, we help Oregonians understand whether legislators listened to their constituents, or if they listened to special interest groups instead. It also serves as a summary of environmental bills and includes special recognition of the legislative champions.
