What They Say

"The FLCV Scorecard is one of the most important tools citizens have to ensure protection of their environment and health. It pierces the veil of secrecy surrounding legislative action and guarantees the public an accurate assessment of legislators, thereby promoting government accountability."

Past President Emeritus, Legal Environmental Assistance Foundation

"The FLCV Scorecard is of great service to all citizens who want to make democracy work on behalf of the public interest."

“The FLCV Scorecard is the only tool in our tool chest that helps the citizen know the records of legislators. That is accountability.”
