Craddick rewards supporters with key committee posts
Republican Speaker Tom Craddick assigned plum committee roles to loyalists while oust-aimed challenger Jim Pitts protested. Craddick kept Pitts off the budget panel but named him twice chair of the Government Reform Committee and he also serves on Ways and Means. Democratic backers received top slots as Aaron Penn chairs Criminal Jurisprudence and Ryan Guillen becomes vice chair of Appropriations. Conservative Warren Chisum will lead the Appropriations Committee as the House moves to hearings.
