The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Politics Watch blog has noticed a couple of interesting appointments to committees for the coming Assembly session:
Update: Rep. Spencer Black has issued a press release on Nass' appointment.
Who will be the Assembly's shepherd for the University of Wisconsin system? Rep. Stephen Nass (R-Whitewater), the university's fiercest critic and biggest nemesis in the Legislature, who was named chairman of the Assembly Colleges & Universities committee. Nass will replace Rep. Robin Kriebich (R-Eau Claire), who lost the Nov. 3 election to Democrat Jeffrey Smith. Kreibich's district included UW-Eau Claire and UW-Stout.This makes abundantly clear one thing: the State Assembly won't likely quit being the pain they have been for years and will likely continue to stand in the way of progress in this state.
And who will be responsible for ethics reform? That would be Rep. Mark Gundrum (R-New Berlin), who was one of the opponents of last session's ethics reform package known as SB1, which would have merged the state's Ethics and Elections Boards. Gundrum now chairs the Judiciary and Ethics committee.
