Don't assume that the lower ratings recently given state lawmakers by the Maryland League of Conservation Voters are a sign that the General Assembly's interest in environmental causes is on the wane.
Rather, it's a product of how much ambitious, pro-conservation legislation was on the table during the last General Assembly session.
What's more notable is the sharp divide between urban and rural politicians.
Legislators from the Eastern Shore and Western Maryland - where natural resources would seem most precious - rarely vote green.
