MINERAL POINT — State Rep. Todd Novak (R-Dodgeville) received the “Friend of Grocers” award from the Wisconsin Grocers Association Aug. 6 at the Point Foods in Mineral Point.    

The “Friend of Grocers” award is given to legislators who score highly on the WGA’s Legislative Report Card — an extensive study of all legislators’ performance in the 2019-20 Legislative Session. 

Lawmakers are graded according to their actions on certain issues that are especially important to the grocery industry, including: alcohol pickup and delivery, personal property tax repeal and several other key business issues. 

This is the first Friend of Grocers Award Rep. Novak has received.
