Friday, January 20, 2017

ST. PAUL, MN - State Representative Connie Bernardy (DFL - representing Fridley, New Brighton and Spring Lake Park) has been reappointed to the Legislative Audit Commission for the 2017 legislative session, following the appointment by House Minority Leader Melissa Hortman.

"In my legislative work, I strive to promote accountability, strengthen legislative oversight, and enhance agency, project and program effectiveness,” said Rep. Bernardy. “Serving on this important commission, we work on a bipartisan level to be effective and good stewards of our state resources.
