Monagan Promises Freedom for Members in New Assembly
Robert Monagan of Tracy, likely speaker in the Republican Assembly, pledged to give members more freedom to maneuver. Reagan backed Monagan, hoping for cross party help to pass his creative society program as the GOP gained three seats to lead 30 to 29.
