.... (Rep. Jay) Hottinger has been a member of the House Finance and Appropriations committee since early 2007.
The outgoing chairman, Matt Dolan, R-Cleveland, son of Cleveland Indians owner Larry Dolan, is the likely Speaker of the House in 2009. He resigned Wednesday to prepare to become speaker....
Did you see that------ ...Dolan is the likely Speaker of the House in 2009...? Amazing. Why does Dolan need eleven months to prepare to become Speaker of the Ohio House? What if Dolan loses? What if the Republicans are swept out of office? It could happen.
When Nancy Pelosi became Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, she did not need 11 months to train. Something tells me that Pelosi's job is far more complicated than being Speaker of the Ohio House.
