Boss Wills UPDATE
To the winner of the speaker's race goes the prize of awarding committee chairmanships.
You can see them now on the speaker's website. Reviews welcome. It's a rainbow coalition -- black, white, men, women, Dems, Repubs. Some certifiable progressive thinkers in some important slots. Some troglodytes, too. It is the Arkansas General Assembly, after all.
UPDATE: Roby Brock notes that House Speaker Wills has assigned his lottery bill to the Rules Committee, led by Robert Moore. Brummett blog more forcefully underscores that the Rules Committee is the speaker's rubber stamp.
Comments
Steve Harrelson as House Judiciary Committee Chair is a great pick--I can remember not too many sessions ago when we hardly even had any lawyers on that committee. It showed. Good to have a guy like Rep. Harrelson leading this one.

Speaker Wills has done an exceptional job with his committee chair appointments. Harrelson, Reep, Saunders, Lowery, Moore are top quality. Hope Wills will let his folks lead. Look for the House to be at the forefront of most good legislation. Term limits has decimated the Senate. The leadership quartet of Johnson, Faris , Steele and Smith is weak.
