Sen. Jim Jeffords was a true champion for the environment
“Senator Jim
Jeffords was an environmental champion throughout his career, from his work in
Vermont to his national leadership as Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Environment
and Public Works. I had the privilege of working with Senator Jeffords both
when he was a Republican and when he was an Independent, and at all times he was
willing to put issues above politics, and work with his colleagues on both
sides of the aisle to find solutions. His death is a great loss for America and
for the environmental community. I will miss him.”
- Fred Krupp, president of Environmental Defense Fund
