Health-care task force faces tall task
What's the gossip regarding membership on the task force?
Pignanelli: There is much speculation regarding the hidden agenda behind the surprising structure of the task force, recently appointed by Legislative Leadership. Many of the lawmakers with a deep expertise in this area (i.e. Jim Dunnigan, Becky Lockhart, Michael Waddoups) were not selected. Apparently leaders wanted some fresh faces dissimilar from the health task force from several years ago. (The musing focuses on whether membership is a dynamic of the upcoming leadership elections.) The legislative juggernauts of reform, House Majority Leader David Clark and Senate Minority Whip Sheldon Killpack will lead the committee. However, there is some thought all the "newbies" will need to be educated, which could be a distraction from the important goals.
Any predictions regarding the process and expected results from the task force by year's end?
