No House committees today
House Speaker Tom Craddick isn't going to assign House committees this afternoon, as expected, because he's still meeting with members, his spokeswoman Alexis DeLee said this morning.
The highly anticipated assignments typically come out around this time in the session, and were expected at noon today. But the ice storm and other delays have made the process more time-consuming than expected, Ms. DeLee said.
She said her office doesn't know if they'll be released tomorrow, or if members will have to wait until next week to start meeting in their committees.
"We're working to get it done as quickly as possible and we'll get those out as soon as we can," Ms. DeLee said.
