AUGUSTA – Rep. Parnell Terry, D-Gorham, will serve as a member of the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee (VLA) and the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Committee (IFW) during the 132nd Legislature. Terry was appointed by House Speaker Ryan Fecteau.
“Having grown up with my father serving in the U.S. Army, I understand how important it is to support our Maine veterans,” said Terry. “I am committed to working to secure ongoing funding for our veterans’ homes and sustainably growing Maine’s heritage fish and wildlife industries. It’s an honor to be named to two committees that play a crucial role in making sure that state government delivers for all Mainers.”
The VLA Committee is responsible for legislation regarding liquor laws, lottery, off-track betting, election laws, governmental ethics, the Department of Defense and the Maine National Guard.
