Speaker Change

bill rappleye

still planned for this week

I am still trying to confirm the date for the Democratic caucus which will endorse Gordon Fox for Speaker, and elect Nick Mattiello as Majority leader.  As NBC10 News first reported on Saturday, the caucus will take place this week. I hope by the end of today to report whether it will be Tuesday night or Wednesday.  The General Assembly will be off next week, so the leadership wants to have the Speaker vote before the whole body this week.  Normally before break, they don’t meet on Thursday, which would lean toward a Wednesday vote after a Tuesday caucus.  But the Speaker could make them all come in on Thursday.  Stay tuned.
