Rep. Mary Liz Holberg to Participate in Transportation Policy Forum


ST. PAUL--State Representative Mary Liz Holberg (R-District 36A, Lakeville) will participate in a panel discussion on transportation policy as part of the Bipartisan Policy Center Performance Driven: A New Vision for U.S. Transportation Policy forum. The event is at the Cowles Auditorium at the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey Institute on November 23, 2009 from 8:30am to 1:30pm. Other members of the panel are Metropolitan Council Chair Peter Bell, Minnesota Department of Transportation Commissioner Tom Sorel, and State Senator Scott Dibble. The event is free of charge, and those interested can register at www.bipartisanpolicy.org.

“Transportation is, and always has been, an important issue to myself and my constituents. We need to make sure that our state effectively and efficiently maintains its infrastructure, while also developing ideas for improving our transportation system to better serve our citizens,” said Holberg. The representative stressed that the state must prioritize and ensure money appropriated to construction and maintenance is being spent responsibly.

In addition to serving on the transportation committees, Representative Holberg is the lead Republican on the House Ways and Means committee and also serves on the State Government Finance and Civil Justice committees and the Small Business Caucus. The Minnesota legislature will reconvene for the 2010 session on February 4.
