Gazelka Named to Sunset Commission

Brainerd State Senator Paul Gazelka has been appointed to the newly-created Sunset Commission.

The Legislature created the Sunset Commission as part of the 2011 Sunset Act. The commission will review state agencies and advisory committees to determine 12 key performance factors, including: efficiency and effectiveness, the extent to which the agency is meeting its goals and objectives and the amount of overlap and duplication with other agencies.


The Brainerd Republican said, "We will focus primarily on reviewing agencies and the services they deliver to determine what programs are redundant."
