The Spending Affordability Committee, composed of members of the General Assembly and two public members, met this week to discuss the State’s capital program, debt policy, transportation trust fund, personnel, and the retirement and pension system. This is the second of a series of meetings that will lead to spending and budget recommendations to provide guidance to the Governor and General Assembly when formulating and approving the budget for FY 2019.
The meeting is also the final briefing by Department of Legislative Services Executive Director Warren Deschenaux before members of the General Assembly. Mr. Deschenaux is retiring by the end of the year.
