2015 Environmental Scorecard for the Oregon Legislature

SB 1584

Fish Persistence Rollback

SB 1584 would have overturned a recent Oregon Court of Appeals decision requiring local governments to plan for the persistence of endangered fish in their municipal water projects. It would also roll back a hard-fought compromise passed in 2005. Local governments should be held to requirements that would mean more water conservation, especially as we expect less water in a climate-changed future.

About the Scorecard

For more than 40 years, OLCV has protected Oregon's natural legacy. An essential part of our work is holding our elected officials accountable. The OLCV Environmental Scorecard is not only one of our most important accountability tools, but also a tradition. The first scorecard was published in 1973.

By sharing how each member of the Legislature voted on the most critical conservation bills, we help Oregonians understand whether legislators listened to their constituents, or if they listened to special interest groups instead. It also serves as a summary of environmental bills and includes special recognition of the legislative champions.
