The committee assignments for the PA House haven’t been posted on their web site yet, but the Delco Times print edition reported yesterday that Bryan Lentz (PA-161) was informed by Appropriations Committee Chair Dwight Evans, that he will have a seat on the coveted committee.

Tom Gannon didn’t have a seat on Appropriations; those who are concerned about a potential loss of influence in Harrisburg by trading in a 28-year incumbent for a freshman representative should be reassured that district interests will make it to the table.
