Steinberg chosen to lead powerful Assembly panel
Sacramento Assemblyman Darrell Steinberg was named to a key post Wednesday by newly installed Speaker Herb Wesson.
Steinberg, 42, will serve as chairman of the Assembly Appropriations Committee, which measures the fiscal impact of legislation and potentially can kill any bill requiring public funds.
Steinberg will begin the job March 11, nearly one week after the state’s primary election. Steinberg’s current role as Judiciary Committee chair will be filled by Assemblywoman Ellen Corbett, D-San Leandro.
Pygmies one and all, but there’s not much to choose from any more. Term limits are a mistake, boys and girls.
