Virginia House of Delegates committee assignments are now online. As you can see, most of the committees are divided 12 Republicans (red) to 10 Democrats (blue), with the exception of 10 Republicans to 8 Democrats on Courts of Justice and 11 Republicans to 6 Democrats on Rules. So…yeah, a 51-49 division of the House of Delegates results in a 2-seat edge (or more) for the majority party on committees, as opposed to – let’s say – alternating 12-10 and 11-11 or something. Seems crazy and unfair to me, but that’s the Virginia House of Delegates for you! On the other hand, at least Republicans didn’t try to ram through some sort of egregious domination of committees, perhaps 15-7 or something. So there is that…
