State Sen. Bill Rabon, R-Brunswick, said in his latest newsletter that he was appointed as a chairman of the Joint Legislative Transportation Oversight Committee, which is made up of members of the state House and Senate.
The committee delves into a range of state transportation issues. Rabon said he was asked by Senate Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham to serve in the post.
“I love transportation,” Rabon said Thursday. “That’s the one part of state government that I do love.”
Rabon said in his newsletter that lawmakers are committed to working with the Department of Transportation to improve the drivability of roads across the state and the safety of motorists. He also said he wants to ensure the bypass around Wilmington, Interstate 140, is completed before he leaves office.
He said he hoped to serve four or six years in the Senate. He is currently in his first, two-year term.
