Rep. Franz to help House leadership assign 2015-16 House committee appointments State Rep. Ray Franz has been named to serve on the 98th Legislature’s Committee on Committees for the Michigan House by Speaker-elect Kevin Cotter. Franz will help recommend House member committee assignments by matching lawmakers’ experience and interests with committee work that best utilizes their knowledge. “This is a tremendous honor to be part of the House leadership team and be able to begin working on the next phase of helping Michigan’s continued comeback,” said Franz, R-Onekama. “The Legislature’s committee work is where our state’s future policies and laws are shaped, so it’s important to have the right people with the right experience helping to guide the process.” The temporary Committee on Committees is charged with selecting committee chairs and Republican members of standing and appropriation committees for the 2015-2016 legislative session. “Though it is only November, we want to lay the groundwork that will enable us to begin work immediately upon beginning the new term in January, said Cotter, R-Mount Pleasant. I am entrusting colleagues who have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to hard work and a firm understanding of the details of the legislative process to make recommendations for next term. As I said the day I was elected as the next speaker, this is no time to coast; we need to keep our foot on the gas.”
