“I’m grateful for the confidence that Speaker Phelan has shown by entrusting me with this important committee. Our work on Ways & Means can play a vital role in how our economy rebounds from COVID. I’m committed to leading for a smart, innovative approach to tax reform and tax relief while making sure that we are fully funding essentials like public education and public safety,” said Chairman Morgan Meyer.
Chairman Meyer also was named as a member of Local & Consent Calendars, a committee which sets the agenda for uncontested bills and resolutions.
