Nikki Fried: Middle of the road policies got C-minus from Sierra Club

Her middle of the road policies have disappointed some environment and energy activists. The Sierra Club in March gave her a C-minus grade after two years in office. Fried had an opportunity to be "bold as opposed to being cautious and achieving nothing really in terms of the environment," said Deborah Foote, the Sierra Club's acting Florida chapter director. "When you're the only one you can try and show the true colors of what's going on," Foote said. "I think she's done the opposite."

Ripple said it was "applauded by members of Congress and progressive national think tanks."
