WASHINGTON--Despite earning a 100% rating from the League of Conservation Voters in 2001,
Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) shocked the environmental

bill that would have raised fuel efficiency standards for
automobiles. Due to her impressive environmental record,
supporters felt justified in expecting a pro-environment vote
on this salient issue. Unfortunately, they were
disappointed.
