The Washington State House of Representatives has a new business champion – Rep. John Driscoll of Spokane.
At a Tuesday luncheon, the Business Institute of Washington honored five legislators for their work during the 2009 legislative session.
“Their work in support of a strong private sector during this year’s legislative session, with their keen recognition that a healthy business community creates jobs and fuels Washington’s economic,” said the group in a press release.
"Legislators were evaluated on their ability to support and champion good, pro-business legislation that will ultimately benefit the economy, particularly in these difficult economic times.”
Driscoll supported and voted for numerous business measures, and also sponsored several bills to support a stronger health care industry.
“Without a robust health care sector, we cannot achieve our goals of improved quality of care and access to medical care,” Driscoll said. “In health care and other areas, we need balanced solutions that work for everyone, and that will continue to be my focus.”
