Scorecard Methodology: What the Numbers Mean
CTLCV works with environmental groups around the state to identify their legislative priorities. Throughout the legislative session, we consult with these advocates to monitor and assist the progress of each piece of legislation.
CTLCV grades legislators on a 0% to 100% scale based on their votes on environmental bills as they are cast in committees, the House or the Senate.
We awarded 100% for each pro-environment vote cast, and 0% for each anti-environment vote. The final score shown in this document is the average of all selected votes. We do not currently score absences or abstentions. A blank space means there was no vote to score for that legislator on that bill.
This year, we have included each legislator’s average lifetime score. While the most recent session reflects current positions on specific bills, watching the longer term trends and voting patterns of individual lawmakers can give a broader view of their priorities. All Scorecards from 2000 to 2012 can be found at www.ctlcv.org.
