In case you haven’t seen it, Time Magazine ranked Senator Allard one of the five worst Senators in the country. Given its generally conservative reporting, we don’t think Time was evaluating the Senator on the basis of his environmental record, but he probably earns a similar position on the conservation list as well. We want to give credit where it’s due, and the Senator on occasion supports important initiatives, but on the whole Senator Allard has been as hostile as they come having earned a whopping 5% on the League of Conservation Voters' environmental scorecard. On the Endangered Species Act, for example, the Senator is a co-sponsor on Crapo’s atrocious “gut the Act” bill now (thankfully) languishing in the Senate’s Finance Committee. This is an important enough issue to him, in fact, that it’s been living on his home page for some time now.

We’ve got details of the Crapo bill on our Endangered Species Act Defense Campaign page.
