Rep. Rick Hansen Appointed to the Select Committee on Technology and Responsive Government

Friday, February 17, 2017

SAINT PAUL, MN –Friday, Speaker Kurt Daudt (R-Crown) appointed Rep. Rick Hasen (DFL-South Saint Paul) to the Select Committee on Technology and Responsive Government.

“Technology is increasingly intertwined in our daily lives,” remarked Rep. Hansen. “I’m excited to serve on a committee that will look at ways Government can incorporate technology to streamline how we serve the citizens and businesses of Minnesota.”

The Select Committee will examine how Minnesotans interact with government and harness innovation to respond to the needs of the public, rather than catering to the wants of government systems. This select committee will seek ways to not only make government more effective for Minnesotans, but to deliver cost-savings and improve efficiency.

Rep. Rick Hansen (DFL-South Saint Paul) is the DFL-Lead on the House Committee on Environment and Natural Resources Policy and Finance. Rep. Hansen has authored nation leading legislation on pollinator and environmental protections.
