House Committee Changes for Jared Brosset, Walt Leger III and John Schroder
Several area state representatives have gotten new committee assignments from House Speaker Jim Tucker on the eve of this year's legislative session. Rep. Jared Brossett, D-New Orleans, has moved from the Insurance Committee to the House and Governmental Affairs Committee, a change that will put him in the thick of redistricting efforts next year. Rep. Walt Leger III, D-New Orleans, has moved from the Education Committee to the Criminal Justice Committee. Leger was a prosecutor before winning his legislative seat. Elsewhere, Rep. Tony Ligi, R-Metairie, has been appointed to the Municipal, Parochial and Cultural Affairs Committee, and Rep. John Schroder, R-Covington, has moved from the Criminal Justice Committee to the Education Committee. — Clancy DuBos
