Nancy Farmer, Democratic representative of the 64th District, has been named chair of the House Ways and Means Committee.
This committee handles matters involving taxation. First elected to the House in 1992, Farmer has served on this committee for the past two years.
This year again the state will face the problem of excess revenues under the terms of the Hancock Amendment. Last year the committee came forward with the reduction of the sales tax on food.
The governor is now supporting it and this will be a significant agenda item for Farmer’s committee. By virtue of her chairmanship of Ways and Means, Farmer also sits on the House Budget Committee, which allocates the state’s $15 billion of spending.
