...And in the spirit of crediting our elected officials when they get it right, I just want to briefly mention how proud we should be that our "DC three" (Leahy, Sanders and Welch) is the only state delegation that has received a perfect score from the League of Conservation Voters for their voting record on environmental issues in 2010!
In these days of economic anxiety and hair-trigger paranoia, it takes courage to stand-up for that singularly important but non-voting constituent: the natural environment. It may sometimes seem like a thankless job, gentlemen; but we and our fellow life-forms salute you! May your vision always be greater than the sum of your days on Capitol Hill.
