With the recent election of a kindler, gentler SLC mayor (Rep. Becker) a large void was left in the leadership structure of the minority caucus of the House of Representatives. Tonight they held their elections. The envelope please....and the winners are...:
- Minority Leader: Brad "just sing me a song" King
- Whip: David "nice guy" Litvack
- Asst Whip: Carol "you ain't got no proper english" Moss
- Caucus Manager: Phil "just the facts, ma'am" Riesen
Here's what you can expect: (1) Brad will now have to lead more than just our birthday singing; (2) Dave will show that even really, really, really, ...really nice guys know how to use a whip to corral a caucus; (3) Carol's grammar lessons will no longer be limited to the education committee -- every minority caucus meeting will now begin with one (and an assignment to each caucus member to teach the heathens in the majority caucus); (4) Phil will use his extensive experience to issue daily reports to the public warning of the Republican-like activities taking place at the Capitol.
All kidding aside. Congratulations to the new leadership team! Continued best wishes in your legislative service. You will serve your caucus well. I look forward to our continued great working relationship.
p.s. Don't get the humor? Spend a day or two up at the Capitol to get to know every legislator's unique personality, skills, and passions.
