The Minnesota Senate on Monday announced committee assignments for the upcoming 2021-2022 legislative session. In addition to serving as chairman of the Senate Local Government Committee, Senator John Jasinski (R-Faribault) will once again serve as vice-chair of the Transportation Committee, and as a member of the committees on Capital Investment, Higher Education, and Property Taxes.

“I am excited about these new assignments,” said Sen. Jasinski. “It’s a nice balance of new challenges, like higher education and property taxes, and areas that I have worked on for years and am intensely familiar with the minutiae, like bonding and transportation. I am especially excited to take over as chairman of the Local Government committee. I have been active in public service for years, and much of that service has been in local government. And as a former mayor and city councilor, I also have a unique understanding of how important affordable property taxes are for families. I look forward to putting that experience to use on the Property Tax Committee. I am ready to hit the ground running when session starts again in a few weeks.”
