Michigan
MI 2012 Midterm Legislative Scorecard
the heroes and zeroes in the state house
In 2011, the majority in the current legislature added a new twist to this Lansing environmental doublespeak. Instead of simply opposing stronger protections like those proposed in Clean Water Action’s 2011 Water Protection Agenda, state lawmakers sought to dismantle our existing protections, often under the banner of “job creation.”
"Highlights" from the scorecard include:
- 67 Legislators who receieved a failing grade
- 58 Legislators who scored "0"
- House Leadership passed H.R. 136 - a symbolic vote in favor of the recently rejected Keystone XL Pipeline
- The Legislature failed to advance any of the safeguards outlined in our 2011 Water Protection Agenda

Seeking a Champion for Energy Efficiency
We’re calling on Governor Snyder to show leadership and protect
Michigan ratepayers and our environment by becoming a champion for
energy efficiency. Will you join us?
Energy efficiency programs save people money and shrink carbon footprints by helping customers reduce their need for electricity. The best ways for us to help Michiganders improve their energy efficiency is with programs that incentivize home weatherization, mechanical and lighting improvements, and upgrading to energy efficient appliances. These programs reduce utility bills, improve property values, and create thousands of skilled jobs in every corner of the state.
