Groe New Committee Assignments

Appropriations, Vice-Chair
Sub-Approps:Health & Welfare
Water & Agriculture*
Health

*Earlier this month I was assigned to Transportation. Although interested in this subject I questioned Leadership of the decision to not re-assign Rep. McLain to this committee as she served well on the committee for the last two years. She has a strong, knowledge-based foundation from which the district benefits and it did not make sense that she not continue to serve in this capacity, unless she requested off the committee. After finding out this was not the case, I lobbied for her to be re-assigned, Leadership agreed and switched her to Transportation and me to Water & Agriculture. Makes sense, right?
