Tuesday, June 11, 2013
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – The Oklahoma Legislature earned a “B+” grade for its work protecting the environment, passing bills to fund drought mitigation efforts and promote local farmer’s markets while derailing legislation described as “extremist,” an environmental group announced on Monday.
The Oklahoma Chapter of the Sierra Club, a grassroots environmental nonprofit group, released a legislative session summary that includes a report card grading individual Oklahoma representatives and senators on their votes affecting the environment.
“It’s always a win-win for us when good, commonsense legislation that we can all agree upon that protects the environment comes forward and gets passed into law,” said David Ocamb, director of the Oklahoma chapter.
