Haler receives prestigious
Cornerstone Award
from Association of Washington Business
Rep. Larry Haler,
R-Richland, was recently awarded the highly regarded Cornerstone Award
by the Association of
Washington Business. The respected award is presented to legislators
who promote Washington businesses by voting more than 80 percent of the
time in favor of legislation that supports the business community.
“Throughout the session I worked hard to support legislation that would
create positive policies to improve Washington’s business climate. It’s
nice to be recognized for my work with, and on behalf of the business
community,” said Haler.
“Washington needs lawmakers who recognize the intensity of global
competition. Business people in our state do not take success for
granted. Neither should state leaders. Good times today can disappear
tomorrow if we become complacent,” AWB Executive Director Don Brunell
said. “Our Cornerstone Award recipients, like Representative Haler, know
this and remain committed to making Washington a great place to live,
work, and create jobs.”
Haler also received the Cornerstone Award in 2006 and 2005.
“I’m honored to receive this award and remain committed to supporting
legislation which removes excessive government regulations that stifle
business growth and job creation and hinders the earning-power of
hard-working families,” said Haler.
