(LAPEER COUNTY) — House Speaker Kevin Cotter named State Representative Gary Howell of North Branch to serve on three House committees. Howell now represents the 82nd House District, which covers all of Lapeer County. He will serve on the House Committee on Criminal Justice, House Committee on Workforce and Talent Development and House Committee on Regulatory Reform. Representative Howell, who served as a township, city and village attorney for 40-years, says his legal expertise will be an important asset as the panel drafts policy in the Committee on Criminal Justice to enhance public safety for Michigan families. He also said reforming the state’s regulatory structure is important going forward. Howell is in the process of setting up office hours in his district so he can meet with people in Lapeer County communities and listen to their concerns and ideas.
