House still working on it…

It's still hurry-up-and-wait time in the House, where the majority leadership was huddled behind closed doors much of the day trying to figure out committee chairmanships and assignments. Now, chairmanships reportedly have been worked out, but there's been no announcement, and representatives are lining up in the hallway outside leadership offices to put in their choices for office space and committees. Assistant Majority Leader Scott Bedke, R-Oakley, estimates the House is about half an hour away from settling it all.
