Washington voters who are interested in learning how business-friendly their legislators are can find out by visiting the Association of Washington Business Web site at www.awb.org.

“The AWB Voting Record offers voters some background information they can use when talking with their elected representatives, as well as with candidates for state Legislature,” explained AWB President Don Brunell.

The AWB Millennium 2000 Voting Record provides a representative sample of votes taken on important business issues during the 1999-2000 Biennium. It also includes a voting percentage summary that indicates how business-friendly a legislator has been during the past decade. Brief descriptions of the top 1999-2000 business legislation are also included in the voting record, as well as information about how the Senate voted on each bill.

These summaries are followed by chart that allows the reader to compare, at a glance, how each state senator voted when important business legislation was brought to the floor.
