We would like to have your written testimony in advance. Please email it to me at mtotino@pasen.gov by the close of business on Friday, October 12, 2018. We will distribute the testimony to the committee members and include it on the committee’s website http://stategovernment.pasenategop.com/.  In that communication, please confirm whether you plan to use a PowerPoint, the Internet, a video, poster, etc. to supplement your verbal testimony. We will distribute the testimony to the committee members and include it on the committee website. Since the committee members will be familiar with your written testimony, you may choose to provide abbreviated remarks during your scheduled time. They very much want to have a dialogue with you, and since we have a very tight schedule, limiting your remarks so there is more of an opportunity for members to ask questions will be very helpful.

It has been a pleasure working with you to make this hearing a success. We look forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,
Michaele
