Voinovich Still Hates the Environment

Senator George Voinovich (OH-R) has always gone out of his way to vote against environmental issues. As a matter of fact, Voinovich has an 11% from the League of Conservation Voters for his environmental votes (On the Issues). The LCV concluded that Voinovich is anti-environment.

In keeping with his anti-environment stance, Voinovich voted AGAINST the 2007 Clean Air Act (HR 6), according to The Washington Post. Shame on Voinovich. Wouldn't you think that he'd want to provide clean air and a clean environment for his grandkids and their children. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

.......In other Ohio news.......

Ohio Coal Association president Mike Carey today announced plans to seek the Republican nomination to run against newly-elected Democratic congressman Zack Space in 2008.

Although Carey, of Granville Township, doesn't currently live in the 18th District, he says he'll relocate there if he becomes the GOP nominee. He hasn't held elected office before, but says the coal industry named him "Ohio Coal Man of the Year" in 2003. He also served as a commissioned officer in the Ohio Army National Guard from 1991 to 1999.

If elected, Carey, 36, says he'd be a "true conservative" who would "work hard to secure the borders, lessen our dependence on foreign oil, balance the nation's budget and create an economic climate that fosters good jobs for the working families of the 18th District."

------>.......although Carey, of Granville Township doesn't currently live in the 18th District.....<------

Wow! He is just like Republican Rep. Paul Gillmor who does not currently live in his district!!!!!!

Carey's other claim to fame was that he was the 'Ohio Coal Man of the Year' should really bring big support for the environment. Don't you think?

Wait! There is more on Carey from Left of Ohio ---

'Carey is also registered as a lobbyist for the coal industry.'
