NY Presidential Primary: Environmental Issues

The New York League of Conservation Voters wants to make sure people who are interested in environmental issues get out and vote on April 19.

The group sent out a note Thursday offering links to the candidates' platforms and reminding folks to go to the polls.

"New York has more delegates than any other state left to vote outside of California and for the first time in years, we can play a decisive role in picking the nominees for both major parties," wrote Josh Klainberg, Senior Vice President of the NYLCV's Education Fund. "Whether it comes to cleaning up polluted sites and protecting the quality of our drinking water, preserving natural areas, and transitioning to clean energy sources, our next president will have a significant impact issues that matter to New York's environment."
