State Senate shakes up committees with liberal tilt
In a Tuesday announcement in Sacramento the Senate Rules Committee named Anthony Beilensen head of the Finance Committee and shifted chairmanships to liberals across panels. Liberal Arlen Gregorio will lead Health and Welfare, Omer Rains chairs Elections and Reapportionment, and Beilensen is succeeded by Gregorio on Health. Beilensen replaces Randall Collier who requested the Transportation post after criticism of his leadership. The reshuffle broadens liberal influence in the upper house while moderate Democrats take previously conservative slots.
