COLUMBUS: A conservation group says it can't grade Ohio lawmakers on their environmental records because they passed almost no substantive laws on the topic last year.
The Ohio League of Conservation Voters says the lack of activity in 2007 made it impossible to produce its annual scorecards, which give lawmakers grades based on votes for and against environment-related bills.
The league's executive director says the Legislature passed only feel-good measures — such as naming the spotted salamander the state amphibian — or watered down bills that didn't affect the environment either way.
The group plans to lobby lawmakers this year to pass a compact protecting Lake Erie's water, to place renewal of the Clean Ohio Fund on the ballot, and to address climate change.
