New Jersey Legislature Still Failing to Provide Adequate Environmental Safeguards2015 Scorecard Reveals Most Legislators Not Making the GradeAs documented in Clean Water Action’s 2010-2013 NJ Legislative Scorecard (www.cleanwateraction.org/NJscorecard), New Jersey’s critical environmental and public health protections have been put at risk by state officials. As this 2014-2015 scorecard documents, this recent trend to abandon New Jersey’s proud legacy of environmental leadership continues.

SCORECARD OVERVIEWThis scorecard provides a comprehensive evaluation of how the legislature as a whole, party caucuses, leadership, and individual legislators rate on the environment covering the most important, representative environmental issues in the 2014-2015 legislative session.

Unfortunately, with too few notable exceptions, legislators continue to not make the grade — the average score was just 47%. Fortunately, it’s not too late to turn things around!

Overall, we found:

• Democrats on average scored a bit better than Republicans, but less so than last session and are still failing.

• On every legislative initiative, the anti-environment position won or the pro-environment position was watered down because Democratic leaders failed to post good bills, most Republicans refused to ever buck the Governor even when they disagreed with him, and/or enough Democrats teamed up with Governor Christie to pass bad bills — most notably two bills so bad they were double weighted — the Pinelands nomination of Robert Barr and the 4th Permit Extension Act.

• The Democrats too often took symbolic rather than meaningful action when they disagree with the Governor (#1 Exxon and other budget raids, #5 Offshore Wind, #14 Global Warming). They failed to use tools at their disposal to overcome the Governor’s opposition (legislative intent vetoes and constitutional dedications only require simple majorities). The Democrats also signed off on budget gimmicks (shifting funds from Clean Energy to NJ Transit and from site remediation (Passaic River) and watersheds to open space and the General Fund).

• The Legislature has also failed to seriously consider the most significant solutions to critical issues like coastal protection (S64/A2117), the climate crisis and a green economy (S2444/A4224), environmental justice (S1150/A1594), and comprehensive legislative oversight of Governor Christie’s abysmal environmental record.

On an individual legislator basis, it’s not surprising most legislators, especially in leadership, did so poorly. There are notable exceptions. The following heroes, zeroes and leaders are especially worth citing here (also see attached charts):

• 14 heroes scored higher than 80%, led by Senate Majority Leader Weinberg (D-37) and Senator Bateman (R-16) at 103%.

• 9 “zeroes” scored below 20%.

• With the very outstanding exception of Senator Weinberg, Democratic leaders scored near the bottom of the Democrats, while Republican leaders scored at (Bramnick) or well above (Kean) average of their respective caucuses.

• Senators Sarlo (D-36) and Lesniak (D-20) secured “most improved” with scores increasing by 36% and 31% respectively.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEROES

ENVIRONMENTAL ZEROS

LEADERSHIP AND CAUCUSES

MOVING FORWARDNew Jersey is at a crossroads. We’re behind compared to our neighboring states in recovering from the economic downturn and the aftermath of Sandy. We have a Governor who, on a good day, isn’t paying attention to New Jersey and, on a bad day, is adding to his anti-environment record, the worst of any NJ governor in modern history.

However, it’s not too late to reverse course. The best environmental solutions are the best economic ones. Energy efficiency and clean renewables don’t only mean clean air and clean water; but they create more jobs and are lighter on the pocketbook than fossil fuels like fracked gas.

Actions that the NJ Legislature takes and/or fails to take in the near future will go a long way in determining our state’s fate. There’s so much that can be done. Here’s a partial “to do” list the Legislature should start on before 2016:

• Constitutionally dedicate Clean Energy and Exxon funds to their intended purpose.

• Override the governor’s veto of the ban on dumping frack waste in New Jersey (#13) — a supermajority of legislators support this bill — what are they waiting for!

4Clean Water Action | 2015 NJ Legislative Scorecard

• Get moving on stalled legislation:

� Accelerate NJ’s transition to a safe, clean energy economy using existing technologies by setting and achieving aggressive efficiency and clean renewable goals (S2444/A4224), thereby making NJ a hotbed for manufacturing, research, development, installation and maintenance of green technologies and sustainable jobs

� Protect our coast with smart planning (S64/A2117)

� Promote environmental justice (S1150/A1594) by addressing the cumulative impact of multiple pollution sources

� Ensure safe playing fields (S541) by making them pesticide-free

• Use legislative oversight power to stop the Christie Administration’s from weakening the Clean Water, Water Supply Management, Offshore Wind, and Global Warming Response Acts and Energy Master Plan.

It’s time for environmental legislative leaders to drive the pro-environmental agenda!

Clean Water Action will be doing our part — going door to door educating voters in targeted districts; mobilizing our members on the phone, through direct mail, traditional, new and social media, and by building coalitions to have our collective voices heard. Together, we can help legislators do the right thing and hold them accountable when they don’t.

Reading the ScorecardLegislators were scored on the 16 most important environmental issues acted on in 2014 and 2015. You can find descriptions of each of these on the next page. The State Senate acted on four issues the Assembly did not (#1 Exxon, #5 Offshore Wind, #7 Pinelands II Barr Nomination, and #14 Global Warming). The Assembly acted on one issue that the Senate did not (#12 Pinelands I). Legislators could also receive extra credit and/or demerits for pro- and/or anti-environmental leadership as described below.

Votes (85% towards the final score)Legislators’ pro-environment votes and actions are noted with a plus or positive “+” sign, and their anti-environment ones are noted with a minus or negative “–“ sign. The Pinelands II Barr Nomination (#7) and Permit Extension IV (#9) votes were given double weight due to their importance (++).

A legislator received an “nv” as in “not voting” when s/he was absent as recorded in that day’s quorum, and was not scored on the day’s action unless her/his position was known from other floor votes, sponsorship, etc.

As the votes selected require an absolute majority (41 in the Assembly and 21 in the Senate), abstentions are scored the same as a no vote. If a legislator was present at the Capitol on the day of the action but did not cast a vote, it was counted as an abstention.

A legislator received a “na” as in “not applicable” when s/he was not yet in office when the scored action occurred.

Extra Credits and Demerits (-15% to +28%)Legislators could receive extra credit and demerit for leadership on the issues referenced above (described on the next two pages) and the other top environmental issues from the 2014 to 2015 legislative session including but not limited to: coastal protection, environmental justice, good government, oil bomb trains, open space, gas pipelines, offshore LNG terminal, electric cars, and regulatory deform.

The following criteria were considered in awarding extra credit and demerit:

• Sponsorship: Prime sponsor, co-prime sponsor, or cosponsor of a significant bill not otherwise scored.

• Committee votes: Key committee votes on a significant environmental bill not otherwise scored.

• Leadership: Publicly speaking out, speaking up in caucus, lobbying colleagues, committee work and other actions, moving (or holding) a bill, securing amendments, and whether they “bucked” party power brokers.

• Good government: accessibility, transparency, open/honest communication.

7Clean Water Action | 2015 NJ Legislative Scorecard

Descriptions and Status of Scored Actions (as of August 18, 2015)1. Exxon and Natural Resource Damages

(SCR163): Proposed constitutional amendment to dedicate all state moneys received from settlements and awards in cases of environmental contamination to environmental purposes. A response to, but bigger than, Governor Christie’s controversial hundred plus million dollar raids of Passaic River and Exxon settlement funds to plug holes in his budget. Passed the Senate 27-12-1 (i.e. voted Yes-No-Abstain) on 6/29/15 but the Assembly leadership refused to take action to qualify the question for this November’s ballot. Voting YES is pro-environment (+)

2. Solar Energy (S2420): Allows NJ residents to earn more for electricity their solar panels produce by increasing the cap on net metering by 16%. Passed the Assembly 68-9-2 on 6/25/15 and the Senate 37-2-1 on 6/29/15. Signed into law 8/10/15. Voting YES is pro-environment (+)

3. Drinking Water II (A3954): Requires maximum contaminant level to be established for 1,2,3-TCP, a potent carcinogen which has been found in New Jersey’s drinking water supplies. Passed the Assembly 61-1-12 on 6/11/15 and the Senate 31-7-2 on 6/29/15. It is on the Governor’s desk awaiting his action this summer. Voting YES is pro-environment (+)

4. Garbage Incinerators vs. Hydro Power (A3455): Deletes reasonably sized out of state hydro power from the definition of “Class II renewable energy” to subsidize dirty, in-state garbage incineration. Passed the Assembly 69-3-3 on 2/23/15 and the Senate 28-2-10 on 3/16/15. Signed into law 5/7/15. Voting NO OR ABSTAINING is pro-environment (+)

5. Off Shore Wind (S2711): Supports Fishermen’s Energy’s 5 turbine, a 25 MW, 2.8 mile offshore wind pilot project. Passed Senate 21-15 on 2/5/15. The Assembly has failed to take action. Voting YES is pro-environment (+)

6. Pilgrim Oil Pipeline (AR191/SR106): Opposes unneeded, proposed Pilgrim Oil Bi-Pipeline that would transport fracked crude oil and refine petroleum products between Albany, NY and Linden, NJ. Passed Assembly 54-5-20 on 12/18/14 and Senate by voice vote on 6/29/15. Voting YES is pro-environment (+)

7. Pinelands II, the Barr nomination: This highly controversial nomination to the Pinelands Commission appears orchestrated to not only resurrect the previously, rightfully defeated South Jersey fracked gas pipeline right through the heart of the Pinelands, but also goes right after the heart of the Commission’s independence, integrity, and mission to protect this internationally significant, 1 million acre ecosystem and 17 trillion gallon aquifer. Due to unprecedented opposition including 4 former

governors (Byrne, Florio, Kean and Whitman), the nomination was defeated on at least four separate occasions. However, extreme measures were taken by Governor Christie, Senator Van Drew and Senate President Sweeney and the nomination was ultimately confirmed by one vote 21-19 on 3/16/15. This vote was given double weight. Voting NO OR ABSTAINING is pro-environment (+)

8. Liberty State Park / Meadowlands (A3969): Promotes overdevelopment of Liberty State Park and the Meadowlands, transferring too much authority away from government agencies with environmental expertise and interest (Meadowlands Commission and NJDEP) to those that are pro-development (Sports and Exhibition Authority). Passed Assembly by 2 votes 42-25-12 on 12/18/14 and Senate by 1 vote 21-12 on 12/22/14. Signed into law 2/5/15. Voting NO OR ABSTAINING is pro-environment (+)

9. Permit Extension IV (A3815): Becoming the “Permanent” Extension Act, this bill extends previously expired and other bad development permits for the 4th time — in this case an additional year. Passed the Assembly 66-1-12 then the Senate 31-5-2 both on 12/18/14 and was signed into law 12/26/14. This vote was given double weight due to its significance. Voting NO OR ABSTAINING is pro-environment (+)

10. Drinking Water I (A3628): Removes the requirement that a municipality secure voter approval before selling its public water system. Passed the Assembly 45-7-25 on 12/15/14 and the Senate 21-16-0 on 12/18/14. Signed into law on 2/5/15. Voting NO OR ABSTAINING is pro-environment (+)

11. Clean Water Sign–On Letter (Waters of the U.S.): State legislators’ sign-on letter that supports USEPA proposed rule to close 10 year old U.S. Supreme Court loophole in the protections afforded by the federal 1972 Clean Water Act. 33 NJ legislators, including Governor Codey, as well as Governors Kean and Florio, signed on to the letter submitted to the USEPA docket on 11/14/14. The rule was adopted on 5/27/15. SIGNING is pro-environment (+)

12. Pinelands I (A1958/A3257): These two bills weaken Pinelands protections. A1958 permits the filling in of wetlands and A3257 permits excessive use of core areas of the Pinelands. A1958 passed the by 73-0-2 on 11/13/14 and the Senate Environment Committee 3-2 on 1/12/15. A3257 passed the Assembly 67-2-4 on 9/29/14 and a hearing was held, but no action taken by the Senate Economic Growth Committee on 2/12/15. As both bills are of similar in content and status, and significant enough to warrant attention but not as significant as some of the bills scored, these two bills are packaged together here. Voting NO OR ABSTAINING on at least one of them is pro-environment (+)

13./16. Frack Waste (S1041): Prohibits treatment, discharge, disposal, application to roadway, or storage of wastewater, wastewater solids, sludge, drill cuttings or other byproducts from natural gas exploration or production using hydraulic fracturing in New Jersey. Passed Senate 32-5-2 on 5/12/14 and the Assembly 62-16-1 on 6/26/14. Nineteen Senators including 4 Republicans and 29 Assembly members sponsored the bill. Governor Christie vetoed the bill on 8/11/14. Voting YES (#13) and SPONSORING (#16) are pro-environment (+)

14. Global Warming (S151): Requires NJ to re-join the multi-state RGGI (Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and use proceeds to invest in consumer benefit purposes. Passed the Senate 24-16-0 on 3/27/14 and the Assembly Environment Committee 4-2-0 on 1/15/15. Voting YES is pro-environment (+)

15. Safe Playing Fields (S541): Restricts the use of the most toxic lawn care pesticides at childcare centers and K-8 schools. Despite a majority of the legislature expressing support for the bill repeatedly over the past few years, the Democratic leadership, largely due to opposition from the chemical industry, refuses to take action on the bill. Currently 53 legislators including 19 Senate Democrats and 8 Senate Republicans are sponsoring the bill. SPONSORING is pro-environment (+)
