Seitz, Schneider land leadership posts
Two state lawmakers from the Cincinnati area were elected to leadership posts for the next legislative session today in the Ohio House of Representatives.
State Rep. Bill Seitz, a Republican from Green Township, was selected majority whip, the fifth most powerful post in the House.
House Speaker Jon Husted, R- Kettering, was selected to return in that top post when legislators begin the 127th Ohio General Assembly in January. After losing seven seats on Nov. 7, the Republican Party will hold a 53 to 46 majority of seats.
"I am proud of what we have accomplished to date, but our work is not yet done," Husted said.
State Rep. Michelle Schneider, a Republican from Madeira, was selected as assistant majority whip, filling the position currently held by Seitz.
State Rep. Kevin DeWine, R-Fairborn, was chosen as speaker pro tempore, the second highest post in the House.
Legislators serving in leadership positions receive stipends in addition to their base salary of $57,948 next year.

Post a Comment*Seitz, Schneider, and K. DeWine are all in their last terms as they will be term-limited in '08. Can't recall re Husted, but perhaps he will as well.
