About

Our Mission
CTLCV is a bipartisan, statewide, non-profit organization dedicated
to protecting Connecticut's environment by making it a priority for
our elected leaders.
As a legislative watchdog, CTLCV works in concert with Connecticut's
environmental advocacy groups to identify and highlight important
bills impacting our air, water, wildlife, open space, and our
health.
CTLCV also supports pro-environment candidates for political office
at election time and holds state legislators accountable for their
votes in an annual Environmental Scorecard. |
What We Do
CTLCV identifies and tracks state legislation
introduced in Connecticut's General Assembly that will impact
the state's natural resources. State Legislators are notified
about these bills through periodic Scorecard Alerts and asked to
cast a pro-environment vote. After each session, CTLCV produces
an Environmental Scorecard that grades legislators on their
overall votes and makes this information widely available to the
public.
Each year, CTLCV endorses political candidates
for state and local office who have
demonstrated leadership and pledge to make the environment a
high legislative priority. In the past, CTLCV has assisted these candidates with
media, fundraising, and direct campaign work. Endorsements for the 2008 election cycle will be
published in late summer 2008.
Candidates: Please
check for our
survey in late June 2008!
CTLCV works to get more conservation-minded
people involved in the political process by providing the tools
and information they need to make informed choices at election
time. CTLCV is helping to build a stronger environmental
presence in the State Legislature and empowering Connecticut
residents to protect the environment.
