National Taxpayers Union Awards Mike with Friend of the Taxpayer Award

Congressman Mike Conaway today was awarded for his outstanding pro-taxpayer voting record last year. The 362,000-member National Taxpayers Union (NTU), a nonpartisan citizen group, has announced that Conaway is among only a few dozen 2009 ?Taxpayers? Friend Award? recipients out of the entire House of Representatives and Senate.

?Given today?s economic climate, fiscal discipline is more important now than ever,? NTU President Duane Parde said. ?Fortunately, taxpayers have a staunch ally in Conaway, to whom National Taxpayers Union is proud to present a ?Taxpayers? Friend Award.’

?Conaway?s pro-taxpayer score of 93 percent was one of the best in the entire Congress,? Parde continued. ?By voting time and again to reduce federal spending, taxes, and debt, Conaway has led by example in the fight to defend overburdened taxpayers across the country.?
