Pollock named to key House committees By Laura Goins, LRC Frankfort, KY - Speaker of the Kentucky House David Osborne has named Representative Michael "Sarge" Pollock to the House Committees on Agriculture, Banking and Insurance, and Tourism and Outdoor Recreation committees. "I'm thankful for this opportunity to collaborate alongside leaders in Frankfort so we can continue to foster growth and positive change throughout the Commonwealth," said Pollock. "Each of these assignments reflects the priorities of my district, and now I'm ready to find new ways we can better meet the needs of Kentucky's tourism industry, agricultural community, and individuals' capital." The House Agriculture Committee deals with matters that pertain to crops, livestock, poultry, and their marketing; tobacco; stockyards; agricultural cooperatives and marketing associations; agriculture weights and measures (including those used in grocery stores); veterinarians, the state and county fairs; and amusement parks. As a member of the Banking and Insurance Committee, Pollock will work to keep personal funds safe through the regulation of banks and trust companies, and various insurance agencies. Tourism and Outdoor Recreation Committee members oversee legislation dealing with tourism, travel promotion, fish and wildlife, hunting and fishing, boating, and horseback riding. The committee also addresses issues like laws that apply to billboards, recreational land use, and all-terrain vehicles. "Sarge brings a wealth of experience to the legislature and I appreciate his willingness to serve on these committees," said Speaker Osborne. "He knows firsthand the challenges our farm families face, understands the complexities of the banking and insurance industries, and appreciates the role tourism plays in our state's economy." The Kentucky General Assembly convened on January 4. Members of the House of Representatives have already moved the chamber's version of the state budget, a spending plan for state agencies, programs, and services. The House version of the budget, HB 1 HCS, includes record funding for education, a continued commitment to the state's budget reserve trust fund, and pay increases for the Kentucky State Police, state employees, social workers, and educators.
