Pryce Named to League of Conservation Voters "Dirty Dozen"

WASHINGTON, DC - The League of Conservation Voters (LCV), the independent political voice for the environment, today named Representative Deborah Pryce of Ohio to its 2006 "Dirty Dozen" list.

"As Chair of the House Republican Conference, Representative Deborah Pryce has had a clear opportunity to help America find meaningful solutions to its energy challenges. Instead of working to create a clean energy future for this country, Rep. Pryce chose to be part of the problem. She has consistently sided with Big Oil interests over the best interests of her constituents. Like her colleague Rep. Tom Delay, Rep. Pryce's record of dismal votes on environmental and energy policy solutions has earned her a spot on the Dirty Dozen," LCV President Gene Karpinski said.

Rep. Pryce, whose lifetime LCV score is 16%, voted to give substantial tax breaks to oil companies that are already making record breaking profits. Rep. Pryce has opposed common sense solutions to America's energy problems, such as requiring new cars to go further on a gallon of gas.

"Buckeye State voters need to know about Rep. Pryce's votes in Congress, like her vote in favor of the Central American Free Trade Agreement, to help them decide for themselves how to cast their own vote in November," Karpinski said.

Over the last decade, LCV's "Dirty Dozen" list has held elected officials accountable for their votes and actions by highlighting some of the worst environmental records in Congress. Since its inception in 1996, more than half of the candidates named to the "Dirty Dozen" have subsequently been voted out of office.

4. I sat behind Debbie in study hall

Technically, I guess that means we slept together.

We graduated together in '71 from Champion High School here in NE Ohio.

Her family owned Pryce's Drug Store, and her dad, Dick the pharmicist, was an outstanding citizen in the community.
Her brother in law, Ken, still carries on the business today.

Though she came from a very good family and was, unlike me, a model student, her subsequent voting record is an embarassing legacy to our alma mater.

Whew
Glad I got that off my chest.
