Rep. Frizzell: Pro- Jobs Legislator

STATEHOUSE- The annual Legislative Vote Analysis completed by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce ranked Rep. Frizzell (R-Indianapolis) as having a 97 percent when it comes to legislation creating jobs in Indiana.
 
"We want employers and citizens to take note of this report because it makes it very clear which legislators were supportive of bettering Indiana's economic climate and which were not," stated Indiana Chamber President Kevin Brinegar.
 
“Getting Indiana’s economy back to full strength begins with getting Hoosiers back to work,” said Rep. Frizzell.  “That was the focus of legislation passed this year.”

The Chamber’s Vote Analysis has been produced for the past 28 years after every legislative session. The legislator’s scores are determined by his or her votes on particular bills and select amendments where the outcome of those bills and amendments on the state’s economy would have an impact on Indiana businesses.
 
Over the past eight years, House Republicans have built the best toolbox in the Midwest and arguably the nation when it comes to creating a climate for job growth. Indiana was also ranked as the number one state in biosciences, in addition to having 58 companies indicate to the IEDC that Indiana’s enactment of Right to Work will be a positive factor in their decision-making process of where to locate their current projects.
 
“Government cannot create jobs, but can surely help create a suitable environment for jobs to expand and grow. It is essential that we create those conditions where Hoosier businesses can thrive,” said Rep. Frizzell.
