shift in house commerce

In a telling shift Dingell (MI) was replaced by Waxman (CA) as chair of the house Energy and Commerce committee.

The importance of this shift is pretty huge when you consider LA has long found itself paying the price of detroit's control of legislation on issues such as CAFE.

It will be very interesting to see what this means in terms of legislation in the next congress.

Waxman is one of the few Congresscritters that I admire. This is a very encouraging development.
