Assemblyman Dave Rible has been named as a 2015 recipient of the Arthur T. Young Outstanding Legislator Award by the New Jersey Society for Environmental, Economic Development (NJ SEED).

“It is an honor to be recognized by this organization that works hard to make sure businesses in our state have the ability to thrive and grow,” Assemblyman Rible said. “Improving our state’s business climate is one of my top priorities as a legislator and I look forward to working with groups like NJ SEED that share my goals of creating jobs and keeping our state’s residents working.”

Rible was chosen to receive the award for his efforts to improve the state and, in particular, to ensure necessary funding is available to improve the state’s transportation infrastructure.

“Our state is facing some real serious challenge, including the need to replenish our Transportation Trust Fund which is used to pay for roads and bridges,” said Rible. “Maintaining our transportation systems is vital to our economic well-being and I am committed to finding a long-term solution to this crisis.”

NJ SEED is a coalition of labor and business organizations that advocate for environmental balance and economic growth. Arthur T. Young Outstanding Legislator Award recipients have been legislators, business leaders and labor leaders who have exemplified distinguished service to advance NJ SEED issues.
