Sen. Erika Geiss will serve as the chairperson for the 102nd Michigan Legislative Black Caucus, the group announced last week.
House Speaker Joe Tate on Thursday announced committee membership for the House this term, and Republican members who bucked tradition on opening day were left with few assignments on less than stellar committees.
The House and Senate are expected to announce committee assignments Thursday for the 102nd Legislature though the names of many of those who will chair key committees already are circulating.
