| Bradley
receives an environmental grade
of 96 for his first term
The Environmental
Advocates of New York have released a report card for New York
Assemblymembers and Adam Bradley is at the top of the class with
a grade of 96. Bradley's grade is among the top in the state.
Assemblyman Adam Bradley
has also earned the endorsement of two leading environmental organizations the
New York League of Conservation Voters and the Sierra Club in
his bid for re-election to the 89th Assembly District.
I'm honored to have
earned these endorsements, they affirm my strong record on environmental
issues, Bradley said. Environmental protection and open space
preservation have always been a top priority of mine and I intend
to continue to make sure that we protect our environment.
Assemblyman Bradley
has a strong record of standing up for the environment including
sponsoring a bill that gives municipalities a direct role in reviewing
proposed private developments in other communities where development
would have a substantial effect on the water or air quality in
their locality (A.8672). A specific example is Mt. Kisco, where
residents are fighting for a voice to protect the source of their
drinking water, Byram Lake Reservoir, which is located entirely
within the borders of neighboring communities. Another bill authored
by Bradley, (A.8673) provides for citizen suits to protect the
environment from harmful effects.
Assemblyman Bradley
also supported environmental bills, which have passed the Assembly,
to:
Direct the DEC to implement air pollution standards for power
plants regarding nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide
and mercury (A.5933)
Allow public access to information about the operation of the
six nuclear power plants in New York to help ensure they are run
efficiently and effectively (A.6424)
Establish a comprehensive statewide asthma management program
to help educate the public about asthma and better understand
its causes (A.2695)
"One of the greatest
things we can leave our children is a cleaner, safer environment,"
Bradley said. "By working together we can continue to preserve
and protect our forests, wetlands, open spaces, and shorelines."
