“I will work closely with members of the legislature in the days ahead to address the very important issues facing our state,” the Governor added. “Since the first day I took office, I have been committed to efficiency in government, cutting bureaucratic red-tape, and saving tax-payer resources; removing these groups, many of which have either completed their work or have become inactive, is just a part of that process.”
