Pitts appointed to key House committees
District 67 Representative begins service on crucial Education and Commerce Committees
NASHVILLE, TN: State Representative Joe Pitts (D-Clarksville) was appointed to serve on two key House committees, continuing the busy start to the 106th General Assembly that began with his swearing in as a member of the state House of Representatives.
“It is an honor to be given the opportunity to serve on both committees,” Pitts said, “This appointment gives me the opportunity to have input on some of the important issues facing the people of Clarksville and Montgomery County.”
In addition to the Commerce Committee, Pitts was also named Vice Chairman of the Utilities and Banking subcommittee. With experience as a banker, Pitts believes he will be able to share important insight on the committee and subcommittee level during his 2nd term in the Tennessee Legislature.
“In these unique times, Tennessee is being faced with some difficult challenges,” said Pitts. “It is my hope that on these committees I will have the opportunity to serve, not only my district, but all the people of Tennessee and help get us back on the right track to prosperity.”
With the appointment to the Education Committee, the two term democrat from Clarksville will also serve on the Higher Education subcommittee. “Since my election to the General Assembly I have been unwavering in my support of our public education system,” Pitts said. “As a member of the Higher Education subcommittee I will work with President Hall, his faculty and staff, in continuing to make Austin Peay State University the premier university for our region.”
Pitts was sworn in Tuesday, January 12, as a member of the state Austin Peay State University representing Montgomery County.
About Christine Anne Piesyk 
In my 40+ years in media, I have worked as feature writer, investigative reporter, editor, publisher, and film/theater/arts critic. I brought my liberal New England activism to Tennessee several years ago, having finally completed a mid-life undergraduate degree in community organizing and women's studies, and an MA in Interdisciplinary Arts with a concentration in Alzheimer's Disease. I served on Future Search Commissions for two colleges and on homelessness for the City of Northampton (MA), where I applied some of my undergrad work in urban planning and community development. I am a member of FreeThinkers for Peace and Civil Liberties. I am a certified storm spotter just because weather fascinates me. In my spare time (define spare time please?) I am a voracious reader, obsessive movie buff, ballroom dancer, and classical music junkie. I also create sci-fi/fantasy and renaissance costumes. I see life as an ongoing opportunity for learning and adventure (one current interest is mastering preparation of foods from India and Southeast Asia). My dream: a return trip to Machu Picchu. After all, the best things still to come. All posts by Christine Anne Piesyk as presented on Clarksville Online are copyright ©2006, 2007, 2008 to the author.
