Well folks it has been a long time, but I am back again and ready to blog about life in the big House...the House of Delegates for you newbies.
My last blog concluded with the last night of session two years ago at which time we were also moving forward on a new election year across the state and in the House of Delegates camps were being formed for the Speaker's race later in 2006.
As many of you are aware, Richard Thompson finished first in the Speakers' race and as such, leadership changed across the board with new chairperson in all but a few committees.
Many members were more than a little disappointed in the outcome, but life changes and life moves on in the legislature. Many adapt to change others flounder and are soon replaced by voters back home, or others simply opt to leave the legislature all together.
The halls around the capitol are filled when rumors and legitimate stories of interest, I will do my best to keep you comprised of those human interest and insider information that only someone from the inside can provide.
Stay in touch and let me know your thoughts from time to time.
