MN Senate releases committee membership

Senate Republicans, who will take control of that body on January 4th, have released the list of members for each committee.

Republicans released the list of committee chairs earlier this month. What is new is who will be the lead members from the DFL. Most of the DFL leads chaired the committees up until they lost control of the Legisalture.

The only exception is DFL Sen. Ann Rest, who won't be a lead on any committee. (Update: I'm told Rest got her first three picks. She also served on the panel that organized the DFL members. That panel included Minority Leader Tom Bakk, Dick Cohen and Linda Scheid).

Here's the list.
