Huizenga honored by small business group The Holland Sentinel Stephen Kloosterman September 19, 2012 U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Zeeland, was honored Monday by a small business group. The National Federation of Independent Business, or NFIB, describes itself as a nonprofit and nonpartisan group focused on public policy issues important to small businesses. The group named Huizenga a Guardian of Small Business because of his voting record. As interpreted by NFIB, Huizenga voted in favor of small businesses 100 percent of the time during the 112th Congress. “As a small business owner myself, I understand the uphill climb small businesses in West Michigan and across the country face in the current economic environment,” Huizenga said. In all, NFIB will present Guardian awards to 245 representatives who voted favorably on key small business issues at least 70 percent of the time. “Huizenga proved that he is willing to stand up and do big things for small business,” said NFIB President and CEO Dan Danner. |
