The Sierra Club legislative scorecard for the 2011-2012 legislative session gave Lake Geneva representatives a big fat zero for environmental protections last session. The Sierra Club John Muir Chapter reports, “The disturbing truth is that the GOP launched an all-out assault on environmental protections last session and we witnessed an unprecedented level of partisan voting with far too many legislators failing entirely and scoring zeroes.

Tim Cullen dist. 15 Janesville Democrat rated 70% for protecting the environment.
Robert Wirch dist. 22 Pleasent Prairie Democrat rated 91% for protecting the environment.
Tyler August dist. 32 Walworth Republican rated a 0% for protecting the environment.
