KLAUSMEIER APPOINTED TO MARYLAND ADVISORY COMMISSION ON MANUFACTURING
COMPETITIVENESS |
(Annapolis)-Senator
Kathy Klausmeier (Dist. 8-Perry Hall) has been appointed by Senate
President Mike Miller to serve on the Maryland Advisory Commission
on Manufacturing Competitiveness. The commission is responsible for
advising the Secretary of Business and Economic Development Christian
S. Johansson and Governor Martin O'Malley on how to encourage and
expand manufacturing in Maryland. Included in this charge is making
recommendations regarding the education and retraining of workers
in the state so that they can fill jobs in manufacturing sector. Representatives
from large national and international companies like McCormick, Northrop
Grumman and Frito Lay and smaller Maryland manufacturers like Marlin
Steel Wire and PRS Guitar will join labor representatives from the
United Auto Workers and United Steel Workers, leaders in education,
and government representatives from the administration and the General
Assembly to work together to promote and improve the manufacturing
sector here in Maryland. "I have long believed that Maryland manufacturers
are an important part of this state's economy. Manufacturing can provide
good steady jobs and can be a good reliable part of our state's tax
base," said Senator Klausmeier, "I have been a member of the Regional
Manufacturing Institute of Maryland directed by fellow commission
member Dr. Mike Galiazzo for many years, and I made it known to President
Miller that I wanted to be a part of this commission because of the
input that I felt I could provide in this area." Joining Senator Klausmeier
as a legislative member on the commission is fellow Baltimore County
legislator Delegate John Olszewski, Jr.
