The Senate Committee on
Government Operations, Public Works and Telecommunications will vote on AJR
48 on Wednesday, March 5. If the Committee passes AJR 48 on Wednesday, it could
be scheduled for a floor vote as early as March 11—the next time the Senate is
in session.
It
is important to make contact with the Senators on this Committee and tell them
why AJR 48 is a threat to the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands and the
Common School Fund. If you are a
constituent please consider contacting them.
Replacing
the State Treasurer with the Lieutenant Governor on the Board of Commissioners
of Public Lands could jeopardize our founding fathers’ commitment to
maintaining a constitutionally protected form of school library funding. The
current BCPL Commissioners do not play a leading role in K-12 school funding or
the state budget process—this makes them ideal custodians of the Common School
Fund and helps protect the integrity of the fund.
