COLUMBUS—State Rep. David Daniels (R-Greenfield) was today awarded Watchdog of the Treasury Award for the 127th General Assembly. The award recognizes key legislators or policymakers every year who work tirelessly to restore responsible limited government, lower taxes, encourage free enterprise and regulatory relief, and promote personal freedom.
“Restoring fiscal discipline to Ohio’s government is crucial,” Daniels said. “Not only has the government been spending beyond its means, but it has been soaking families and businesses instead of reducing waste. If we hope to revitalize the economy and create jobs, we need to first look inward at how Ohio’s government is operating. Just as families are reducing their spending during this difficult economy, the government should do the same.”
The award was presented at a breakfast ceremony in Columbus, held by the United Conservatives of Ohio. The United Conservatives of Ohio supports the responsible spending of taxpayers’ dollars, the elimination of government waste, and the free-market system of competition among private sector firms. Representative Daniels is a three-time ‘Watchdog’ honoree, having not only won the award in the 127th General Assembly, but also the 125th and 126th General Assemblies.
