Conservation League Endorses General Assembly Candidates

Hartford, CT (August 7, 2008) - The Connecticut League of Conservation Voters is pleased to endorse 23 General Assembly candidates, based on their record of support for pro-environment policies and their responses to CTLCV's 2008 pre-endorsement survey.  We believe their constituents will be well-served by these candidates' continued leadership in making smart, sustainable environmental policies a genuine priority for Connecticut state government.
