State Senator Ed Charbonneau will be serving on a national group of state legislators working to prepare state governments for future financial stability in economic crises.

Charbonneau was one of 12 legislators nationwide selected to serve on the bipartisan State Fiscal Health Work Group recently created by the National Conference of State Legislators. The group will search for ways to strengthen state budgets during financial hardships and compile a “Principles of Sound State Budgeting Practices” report that will serve as a guide for legislatures throughout the country during crisis times.

Members will meet together in Washington, D.C. in June and Chicago in August.
