Qualls' Committees

This from former City Hall reporter Gregory Korte ....

Just how deferential are City Council members to their newest soon-to-be colleague, former Mayor Roxanne Qualls?

At a meeting with Enquirer reporters and editors Tuesday, Rules Committee Chairman Jeff Berding -- whose committee oversees committee assignments* -- said people shouldn't expect a wholesale reorganization of the committee structure.

"There's no rearranging. We're just going to put her on every committee she wants to be on," Berding said. "And I think she wants to be on every committee."

* This, of course, raises the question: Who decides who's on the Rules Committee?
