Democrats Cue Up State House Committees and Chairs
Here's a close-to-final draft of committees and committee chairs that Democratic house leadership is circulating this afternoon.
Some things worth noting: education reformers will be disappointed that state Rep. Marcie Maxwell, who was up to chair the education committee, lost out to Rep. Sharon Tomiko Santos; Rep. Ross Hunter's finance committee has been folded into the powerful ways & means committee with Hunter at the helm.
