2012 legislative
Much Ado About Not Much
If you ask the politicians, the 2012 New York State Legislative Session was historic. It was monumental. Governor Andrew Cuomo called the 2012 session one of the most successful in modern political history. Majority Leader Dean Skelos called it one of the most productive and orderly legislative sessions [hes] been a part of. Speaker Sheldon Silver said it featured achievement[s] unparalleled in recent memory. And if you believe that, were auctioning off our rights to the Brooklyn Bridge. Any takers? The 2012 session could have been a big year for big issues. From fair redistricting to limits on campaign contributions, we were supposed to see important changes in the way business is conducted in the Capitol. But these good government reforms came up shortmuch like the environmental agenda. According to the New York Public Interest Research Group, both houses of the Legislature passed fewer bills this year than in any year since at least 1914. Among the bills stopped in their tracks were all of the Super Bills, the environmental communitys highest legislative priorities. And thats just the beginning of the long list of missed opportunities of 2012.

WRAP-UP

A Frac-as in the Making

At the time of this writing, Governor Cuomo still has not made a decision on how, or even if, high-volume hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, will move forward in New York. But it looks like fracking has a future in the Empire State. The Governor floated a plan limiting drilling to five counties near the Pennsylvania border, for which he was rightly criticized on many fronts. Based on what weve seen, New York isnt ready to greenlight fracking. State regulators still havent answered many of the important environmental questions about the process, including what to do with frackings toxic wastes. Governor Cuomos environmental legacy now hangs in the balance. The decisions he makes will have lasting impacts on New York States environment and his own political future. In the end, it may be hard to run for president with a legacy of toxic contamination dragging along behind you.

Green Hope & Disappointment

In good news (and there is some!), a measure to increase monies for the Environmental Protection Fund (EPF), the states green piggy bank, leapfrogged through the legislative process and landed at the Governors feet at the end of session. At the time of this writing, this good bill awaits the Governors signature. It should be an easy bill for him to sign. A bill that would prohibit the sale and distribution of invasive species has already been signed, as has a bill requiring sewage treatment plants to notify the public of any accidental releases of untreated waste. But inexplicably, the Assembly Majority failed to take action on a climate proposal when the rubber hit the roadAssembly Democrats did not act on the Governors clean energy plan at the end of session. This proposal would have created a long-term commitment to solar energy, lowered the regional greenhouse gas emissions cap, and helped hasten the demise of several coal-fired power plants in New York State. Because of the states inaction on fracking, climate change, clean energy, and the other important environmental issues of the year, the 2012 Voters Guide does not name a Legislator of the Year. Instead, the Guide recognizes two Assembly members that continued to fight for New Yorks environment in 2012.

The Green Drought

For the first time since 2006, the Senate failed to pass a single Super Bill. If youre keeping count, that means none of these important pieces of legislation reached the Governors desk. Due to the Senates failure to act on the Super Bills, their 2012 scores plummetedthe Senate Majoritys average score dropped from last years ugly 57 to this years abysmal 33. This years green gap between the average scores of the Senate Republicans and Democrats is a sizeable 28 points, drawing a stark political contrast between the rival political parties. In other bad news, three bills that would be detrimental to our environment passed both houses, a 10-year high. And this year, the Republican-led Senate passed nine bad bills worth a total of 15 smokestacks. From offering state subsidies for dirty coal-fired power plants to an extension of the billion-dollar brownfield boondoggle tax credits, the Republican Senate Majority distinguished itself for its poor environmental record.

OIL SLICK award


Sean T. Hanna (R Henrietta)
New Yorkers should expect more from a former leader of the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Two-year incumbent Sean Hanna, ranking minority member on the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee, earns this dubious honor for a host of reasons. In floor debates during the past two sessions, Assembly member Hanna urged his colleagues to vote no on legislation to curb the pollution that is changing our climate. Despite voluminous evidence from the scientific community that climate change is happening at a rate faster than previously predicted, the Assembly member insists on spouting worn-out rhetoric from the climate denier blogosphere. He opposes all state-based measures to cut greenhouse gas pollution in New York, including the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a effort spearheaded by then-Governor George Pataki when Assembly member Hanna was a regional administrator at the DEC. The Assembly member also sponsored legislation to repeal the states pesticide laws, which provide the public with many safeguards from these dangerous chemicals. Thankfully, this really bad idea died in the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee. With a lifetime failing score of 45, and an abysmal 2012 score of 38, Assembly member Hanna has some explaining to do on his environmental record.

HAT

Because of the states inaction on fracking, climate change, clean energy, and the other important environmental issues of the year, the 2012 Voters Guide does not name a Legislator of the Year. Instead, the Guide tips its hat to two Assembly members that stood out this legislative session.

U U

Robert K. Sweeney (D Lindenhurst)

Assembly member Robert Sweeney, Chair of the Assemblys Environmental Conservation Committee, continues to build upon his record championing for New Yorks environment. Under his leadership, the Assembly passed four of the five 2012 Super Bills and advanced a solid response to the Governors budget proposal. The Assembly member also secured passage of a good bill to curtail the spread of invasive species, as well as a bill to inform and protect the public of accidental releases of sewage into the states waters. Weve said it before and well say it again: Assembly member Sweeney is the go-to legislator for good environmental bills in the State Capitol. We are grateful for his hard work on behalf of the environmental community.

George Latimer (D Mamaroneck)

Committee, distinguished himself in 2012 by sponsoring legislation to grow the states Environmental Protection Fund (EPF), a green piggy bank for environmental and green economic development projects across New York. Attempting to repair damage to the EPF from past cuts, the Assembly member proposed increasing the fund by using the unclaimed deposits consumers already pay on beer, soda, and water bottles. His hard work secured unanimous passage of the bill in his housea less ambitious measure, based on the Assembly members concept, later passed both houses. Were grateful to the Assembly member for standing up for New Yorks environmental funding needs.

How scores are calculated


To calculate legislators scores, EPL/Environmental Advocates uses ratings developed by our sister organization, Environmental Advocates of New York. Legislators earn between 1 and 3 points respectively for votes in support of bills rated by Environmental Advocates of New York as 1, 2, or 3 tree bills. Tree-rated bills are those that will benefit the environment. Legislators earn between 1 and 3 points respectively for votes against bills that are given a rating of 1, 2, or 3 smokestacks. Smokestack-rated bills are those that will harm the environment. Legislators earn points for supporting Super Bills the environmental communitys top legislative prioritiesas follows: Co-sponsoring: Lawmakers receive half-credit (1.5 points of a 3-tree bill) for Super Bills they sponsor or co-sponsor. However, if a Super Bill is voted on, the vote is counted in the score, and credit is not given for co-sponsorship. Members of the minority party who request to be added as co-sponsors also receive co-sponsorship credit. Becoming law: If a Super Bill is passed by both houses and signed into law, all legislators who voted for it receive 3 points plus 2 bonus points. Incompletes: Legislators who miss more than 20 percent of votes receive a score of incomplete (INC).

If they voted to weaken New Yorks environmental safeguards, send lawmakers a note expressing your disapproval. If your legislators are working to protect New Yorks environment, write to thank them.
