In the 4th quarter, the Committee on Rules and Judiciary kicked it into overdrive as over 46 board nominees and various bills were vetted and voted upon before being heard in Legislative Session for final approval. Senators also faced the ongoing WAPA crisis as issues were investigated in the Committee of the Whole and in December when Emergency Session was called by the Governor to address an immediate $6 million dollars payment to VITOL.

In the third quarter, Senator Sarauw and the Committee on Finance drilled down on the Fiscal Year Budget. The Committee on Rules and Judiciary continues the vetting process of the Governor’s nominees and we recognize some outstanding individuals who serve our community.
