This committee, LCAR, reviews rules put forward by administrations to determine if the rules are in conformance with the laws authorizing them. Sen. MacDonald has served as chair or vice-chair (The chair rotates between the House and Senate) of LCAR for the past eight years.
Voices from within the State House:
Senator MacDonald has developed a productive working relationship with local officials, advocates, fellow legislators, state bureaucrats and constituents. They know Mark's word is good: he champions common sense solutions; and Mark has proven repeatedly that technical or bureaucratic roadblocks can be overcome by people of good will, working together.
Secretary of Administration and former State Treasurer, Jeb Spaulding
Senator MacDonald's plan was the first bill to be introduced when the legislature returned to Montpelier in January. It passed and became law in 15 days.
Steve Jeffery of the VLCT
Mark's response following Irene was typical of how thousands of Vermonters offered their skills to tackle complex tasks together. Trust, teamwork, and a common purpose still get things done in Vermont.
