TULSA, OKLA. – Oklahoma Industrial Energy Consumers, an association of industrial companies that employ thousands of Oklahomans, today honored state Sen. Brian Bingman as the 2009 Legislator of the Year for his dedication to ensuring a business-friendly environment for industries in Oklahoma. The announcement was made in Oklahoma City.

“Senator Brian Bingman has diligently worked to create an environment in Oklahoma where businesses, large and small, can succeed and flourish,” said Tom Schroedter, executive director of OIEC. “Senator Bingman is also keenly aware that Oklahoma businesses are competing with businesses in other states and countries and that utility costs can be an important factor in the success of Oklahoma businesses, as well as in the recruitment or expansion of business in Oklahoma.”

During 2009, Sen. Bingman chaired the Oklahoma State Senate’s Energy and Environment Committee, working to ensure that industries in Oklahoma would not be adversely impacted by ill-conceived, anti-business legislation.

“We thank you Senator Bingman for your efforts in promoting industrial expansion and job creation in our State and for making Oklahoma a better place to work, run a business and raise a family,” said Schroedter.

Senator Bingman represents the 12th District of Oklahoma. He lives in Sapulpa with his wife, Paula, and three children. He is currently the chairman of the Senate Energy Committee.

OIEC advocates for fair, just and reasonable electricity rates for Oklahoma’s job-creating industries. For more information on OIEC, visit www.oiec.org. You can also call Tom Schroedter at (918) 594-0400, or email tom@oiec.org
