January 5, 2009

Senate Republican Leader and 16^th District legislator Mike Hewitt issued this statement today regarding the passing Sunday morning of his seatmate Representative Bill Grant:   

“I am deeply saddened by the passing of Bill Grant. As my House seatmate, Bill was someone I could work closely with on issues that helped the people of the 16^th District. As my friend, Bill was someone I could count on personally. Bill was a true statesman and represented our district very well, especially in the area of agriculture. My thoughts and prayers, as well as those of the members of my caucus, are with Bill’s family today. He will be sorely missed.”
