Democratic presidential hopefuls differ on environmental policies
League of Conservative Voters assesses candidates' positions
The Associated Press
CONCORD, N.H. - Democratic presidential candidates Bill Clinton and Bob Kerrey have their hearts in the right place when it comes to the environment, but may be unwilling to spend the money for the right programs, conservationists say.
But the league commended Clinton's record on land conservation and
Many Arkansas environmentalists interviewed by the league faulted Clinton, the Arkansas governor, for a record of what they considered poor appointments and shortcomings on such issues as the expansion of hazardous waste incinerators, water pollution and the clearcutting of Arkansas forests.
In a preliminary assessment of the five leading Democratic presidential candidates, the League of Conservation Voters generally praised former Massachusetts Sen. Paul Tongas and Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin.
called his recent environmental efforts encouraging.
Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey was praised for his 1984 refusal to allow a train carrying radioactive waste to enter his state without proper notice and for focusing on groundwater protection.
But, "the jury is still on whether or not Kerley is willing to spend political capital to accommodate the interests of conservationists."
Although Tsongas has been criticized for his support of nuclear power, the league said most Washington environmentalists view him favorably because of his concern for nuclear sa'ety and the storage of radioactive waste.
Tosngas cares about many environmental matters, but also is pro-business, the league concluded.

The league praised Harkin's "consistent voting record" on environmental issues during his 15 years in the Senate.
"His leadership in the push for sustainable farming, for clean water, and for alternative energy sources-proof construction," the congressional policy," the league concluded.
Jerry Brown, the former California governor, was acknowledged as being ahead of his time on curtailing auto emissions, questioning nuclear power and supporting energy conservation.
"Brown was on or near the cutting edge of many crucial environmental issues," the league said, but many of his ideas "were never fully realized because of his failure to see them through."
The league, which represents 16 organizations, plans to release final assessments of candidates later this month.
