AUGUSTA – The Maine League of Conservation Voters recently praised state Rep. Janet Mills, D-Farmington, for her voting record in favor of bills that will have a positive impact on the environment. Mills scored a perfect 100 percent rating for the 2008 legislative session.
Mills, a third term legislator, scored high marks for her support of new laws that will create greater energy efficiency and less dependence on foreign oil, reduce carbon emissions in the Northeast, ban chemicals from household products that are dangerous to children; expand conservation efforts through Land for Maine’s Future, and prevent shoreline deforestation and invasive plant infestations.
The Maine League of Conservation Voters has tracked and reported legislators’ voting records on key environmental issues since 1986.
