$scope doesn't reflect ng-model - angularjs

Question

The ng-model defined in a select-tag does not seem to affect the controller $scope-variable with the same name.
Controller:
.controller('AccountCtrl', function($scope, $state, User, apiUrls) {
$scope.enviroments = apiUrls;
$scope.updateEnviroment = function() {
console.log($scope.selectedEnv);
}
})
View:
<label class="item item-input item-select">
<div class="input-label">
Enviroment
</div>
<select ng-model="selectedEnv" ng-options="item as item.name for item in enviroments" ng-change="updateEnviroment()" ng-init="selectedEnv = enviroments[0]">
</select>
</label>
<p>{{selectedEnv}}</p>
And for clearity, the constant:
myApp.constant('apiUrls', [
{ "name": 'Production', "id": 1, "url": 'http://api.server.com/api/v1' },
{ "name": 'Developement', "id": 2, "url": 'http://apidev.server.com/api/v1' },
{ "name": 'Local', "id": 3, "url": 'http://localhost/CABApi/api/v1'}
]
);
console.log($scope.selectedEnv); => undefined (?)
Obviously something is not correct that I'm failing to recognize, any ideas?
