(WHBL) – Representative Terry Katsma of Oostburg was appointed to his second term serving on the powerful Joint Committee on Finance, which writes the state budget. Katsma thanked Speaker Robin Vos, who made the appointment on Wednesday, calling the nod “an honor that I do not take lightly.”
Katsma said that he, along with newly appointed JFC co-chair Representative Mark Born, intend to pass a budget that doesn’t raise taxes on citizens and businesses that have already been hard-hit by the pandemic.
The committee is expected to begin work on the 2021-23 bienniel budget following introduction of the executive budget early next year.
