Dirty Dozen List Expands to Three

Tony Massaro, LCV's Senior Vice President for Political Affairs and Public Education, is in his home state of Colorado this week on a media blitz announcing LCV's decision to name Bob Schaffer, a candidate in Colorado’s upcoming U.S. Senate race, as the newest member of the '08 ‘Dirty Dozen’ list.

"Schaffer has a lifetime rating of a mere 5 on LCV’s environmental scorecard, and has always ‘sided with polluters, developers and Big Oil and against the environment and the health and safety of Coloradans," Massaro said in a statement released to reporters in the Centennial State.

Colorado GOP Chairman Dick Wadhams told the Associated Press the LCV’s announcement ‘as predictable as the sun coming up.’ He might have added that Schiffer’s bid for the Senate is as predictable as tax breaks for oil companies going down.
