Collins' environmenal score continues to plummet

Maine Beacon -Senator Susan Collins’ support for environmentally responsible policies has withered under President Donald Trump, according to the League of Conservation Voters, which pointed to the senator’s backing of “extreme judicial and executive nominees” as the reason for her precipitous decline in the organization’s annual legislative scorecard.

Collins scored just 21 percent for her votes in 2018, according to the scorecard, which was released on Wednesday, falling from 32 percent in 2017, 76 percent in 2016, and 60 percent in 2014. Maine’s senior senator has a lifetime average score of 61 percent.
