Committee lineups for the Senate were released today, and I've posted the committee chairs below. One appointment that sticks out immediately is Republican Kevin Mullin as Vice Chair of the Health Committee, because he's been a skeptic of a single-payer system. However, that doesn't mean he won't keep an open mind on the issue.
We'll have a story on the committees in the Sunday paper. For now here's the chairs:
Appropriations: Sen. Jane Kitchel (D-Caledonia), Chair
Agriculture: Sen. Sara Kittell (D-Franklin), Chair
Education: Sen. Kevin Mullin (R-Rutland), Chair
Economic Development: Sen. Vincent Illuzzi (R-Essex-Orleans), Chair
Finance: Sen. Ann Cummings (D-Washington), Chair
Government Operations: Sen. Jeanette White (D-Windham), Chair
Health: Sen. Claire Ayer (D-Addison), Chair
Institutions: Sen. Bob Hartwell (D-Bennington), Chair
Judiciary: Sen. Dick Sears (D-Bennington), Chair
Natural Resources: Sen. Ginny Lyons (D-Chittenden), Chair
Transportation: Sen. Dick Mazza (D-Grand Isle), Chair
