Sierra Club report card on legislators and bills



The Arizona chapter of the Sierra Club put out its annual Environmental Report Card on state legislators' votes on issues and also summarized the final action on a number of bills that dealt with natural resources. Not unexpectedly, most legislators got failing grades.

Whether you agree or disagree with the Sierra Club's stance on some of the bills, they explain their position and give a brief history of what happened to the bills. Topics include tires in abandoned mines, aquifer protection, water resources, aggregate mine reclamation, greenhouse gases, land conservation funds and others.
