Marc Munaretto will no longer be on the Finance Committee he chaired.
A preliminary list of committee assignments has surfaced which I’d like to share with you.
The most significant change I see is that Marc Munaretto, the long-time Finance and Audit Committee Chairman is not on that committee’s list.
Munaretto challenged now-fourth term Chairman Ken Koehler with his nominator Randy Donley arguing in favor of term limits for Koehler and, later, for committee chairmen.
