The state office of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) recently recognized state Sen. Steve Meredith for his voting record in the 2021-22 session of the General Assembly.
As a member of the Senate Standing Committee on Appropriations & Revenue Committee, Meredith, R-Leitchfield, has been a staunch proponent of passing legislation that helps reduce the regulatory burden that hampers the success of businesses in the commonwealth, the NFIB said.
“It’s important to have elected leaders who understand the challenges facing Kentucky’s small businesses and will do everything they can to enable small businesses to grow and create jobs,” NFIB State Director Tom Underwood said.
Meredith, former CEO of Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center, said small businesses are the lifeblood of small, bucolic communities, which is why he is focused on passing legislation that boosts those businesses.
“Thriving small businesses are an essential element for the workforce in our rural communities, and since being elected to the state Senate, I have been focused on helping pass legislation that helps businesses achieve economic success,” Meredith said. “I’m grateful to receive a perfect score because of my support of policies strengthening Kentucky’s economic standing.”
Underwood said the NFIB Voting Record does not reflect every element considered by a lawmaker when voting, nor does it represent a complete profile of a legislator. The 2021-22 voting record includes eight key votes in both chambers on critical issues such as tax relief, unemployment reform, and COVID-19 recovery.
