Delegate Steven DeBoy could be the poster child for a legislator
who is able to balance economic and environmental interests in Annapolis . In yet another report card released today on
statehouse legislators, the Maryland League of Conservation Voters gave the Elkridge Dem a 100% rating. In the MBRG report card issued last
week, DeBoy received a 60% making him the highest scoring of fellow HoCo Dems
in that pro business barometer.
This time around it was the HoCo Repubs who got the bad
grades. Senator Allan Kittleman and Delegate Gail Bates both got a 0% score
from the environmental group. Perhaps Allan's defense of Eastern Shore chicken farmers didn’t sit that well with the greenies. Warren Miller fared just a little better with a 14% score.
Overall the HoCo Dems earned good grades as friends of the earth. Senator Ed Kasemeyer received 80%, while Jim Robey got a 60%. Delegate
Jimmy Malone got a 91% and Liz Bobo, 82%.
