SALEM — Rep. E. Werner Reschke (R-Klamath Falls) was appointed to serve on the House Revenue Committee and as vice-chair of the House Energy and Environment Committee during the 2018 legislative session, according to a news release. Reschke will be a new addition to the revenue committee, while he currently serves on the Energy and Environment Committee.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to increase my involvement in shaping policy in the upcoming session,” said Reschke. “As a member of the Revenue committee, I will be an advocate for tax reforms that benefit Oregon families and will work with my colleagues to oppose unnecessary tax increases. As the Vice-Chair of the Energy and Environment Committee, my top priority will be defending our rural communities from the cap and trade bill currently being pushed by Democratic leaders. I look forward to serving on both of these committees, in addition to my other committee assignments, in the February legislative session.”
