Brown votes for special interests, against environment
Group says congressman gets a failing public
interest grade
JUNE 4, 2002 -- U.S. Rep. Henry Brown consistently votes against the
public interest, according to a new 2001 voting scorecard offered by the
U.S. Public Interest Research Group.
Brown only scored 10 out of 100 in public interest votes, according to
the organization. He voted against clean air and water, for drilling in
the pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, for dirty energy legislation,
against improving fuel economy in cars, for doubling contribution limits
and for weakening consumer protections. (Votes are listed below.)
"We are particularly disappointed in the 170 members who consistently
voted to put special interests before public health and safety and scored
at or below 10 percent," a PIRG spokesman said.
The group analyzed 20 House votes on votes it defined in the public interest.
