Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

HalfDome.jpgThe Sierra Club of California and the League of Conservation Voters have each released scorecards in the last day ranking state lawmakers on their friendliness to the environmental movement.

The Sierra Club ranked 15 state senators and 27 Assembly members (all Democrats) with a perfect 100 percent.

The lowest scoring Dems were Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani (three out of 10), while Sens. Lou Correa and Ron Calderon voted with the Sierra Club three out of seven times.

Twenty-two Republicans received "zeros" from the Sierra club -- including both GOP leaders.
