On February 14, I have been appointed to the Legislative Audit Commission, the Legislative Commission on Planning and Fiscal Policy and the Subcommittee on Ethical Conduct.
I am excited to begin work on these committees. These appointments will allow me to better serve my constituents and the State of Minnesota. I look forward to the good work we will be able to accomplish and as always I request comments and input from my constituents on the important matters I will be working on at the Capitol.
The Legislative Audit Commission is a bipartisan, bicameral commission, consisting of six members from both the House and Senate, each equally represented by both the majority and minority caucuses. The commission selects topics for the Legislative Auditor to review, and periodically holds hearings to review the reports from the Auditor.
The Legislative Commission on Planning and Fiscal Policy is also equally divided between members of the House and Senate, and provides the Legislature with in-depth analysis of projected state revenues and tax expenditures.
The Senate Subcommittee on Ethical Conduct is a bipartisan committee consisting of four members of the Senate who review the ethical conduct within the Senate.
