Tilley: Mike McGhee Appointed Administration & Accounts Chair

Missouri Speaker elect Steven Tilley has announced that District 122 Representative Mike McGhee will be the next Chairman of the Administration and Accounts Committee. The Administration and Accounts Committee is responsible for all financial affairs of the House as well as the funds for individual member’s offices.

“It is an honor to appoint Rep. Mike McGhee to this position,” said Rep. Tilley. “With us facing over a $400 million deficit we have to start by cutting spending right here in the House. We are going to shrink government across the State but we have to lead by example and I believe that Rep. McGhee is the right man for the job.”

Rep. Mike McGhee has served in the House for six years and has been on the Administration and Accounts committee for the past four years.

“I am committed to more accountability in the Missouri House,” said Rep. McGhee. “In hard budget times, we have to tighten the belt of government and look at ways to reduce spending. I plan to look at areas within the House, such as travel by members, office expenses, etc. that can be cut so that we have more money for our schools, veterans and seniors.”
