A local state legislator is re-appointed to her position as the second most-powerful person on the legislature’s budget-writing committee.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos appointed 31st Assembly District Representative Amy Loudenbeck to the position of Vice Co-Chair of the Joint Finance Committee Wednesday.

The Clinton Republican says she intends to take a critical look at specific pressure points within all aspects of government, and take care of funding current obligations before growing government with new programs of projects.

The Joint Committee on Finance is a statutory, 16-member standing committee of the Wisconsin Legislature. The committee’s primary responsibility is to serve as the principal legislative committee charged with the review of all state appropriations and revenues.
