Rep. Schmick comments on Hailey resignation

Rep. Joe Schmick, R-Colfax, issued the following statement today in response to Rep. Steve Hailey's, R-Mesa, resignation from the Washington State House of Representatives for medical reasons:

"I was sad to hear that Rep. Hailey was resigning his House seat.  Steve has represented the 9th District with vigor, honor and character.  It has been a pleasure serving in Olympia with him this past year.

"I know that Steve wants nothing but the best representation possible for the 9th District, and, in the end, he felt he wouldn't be able to give the job the attention and energy needed.  That's a difficult decision to make.  He leaves office with same class and dignity in which he served.  I would ask that people keep Steve and his family in their thoughts and prayers."
