Republicans for Environmental Protection, a non-profit interest group dedicated to preserving "both our environment and our economy for current and future generations of Americans," today awarded U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Auburn), along with Rep. Chris Shays (R-Conn.) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) with the honor of "Greenest Republican in Congress".

The group also says Reichert has "become a champion of America's parks and wilderness heritage" for his co-sponsorship of the Wild Sky Wilderness Act, which is also the boost that gave him the extra three points on his score.

Quote of the Day

"At the end of the day, his vote will be based on the provisions of the bailout itself, not extra items added to it. If the bailout provisions he voted against on Monday remain the same, it’s fair to expect his vote to be the same."

- Will Marlow, spokesman for U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings (R), on Hastings' voting plans for the new Senate-backed version of the financial industry aid plan.
