Turman appoints House committees as session dates debated
The new Speaker James Turman of Gober finalizes House committees this week while over three hundred bills await committee referrals. A constitutional amendment would require a special one day session thirty days after the November election to choose a Speaker, giving four weeks for committee appointments before the January regular session. Gov. Price Daniel struggles to find a sponsor for the payroll tax bill under House consideration.
