House D's New Leadership Team

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.
