Senate
The 25-member Senate will begin the 2001 session with a new leadership organization led by Senate President Robert Bunda, who replaces retired Senate President Norman Mizuguchi. A handful of senators lost powerful positions in the reorganization and in protest refused Bunda’s offer to lead various committees, but it is unclear whether or how that will affect the Senate’s work this session.
The Senate, which remains generally sympathetic to the public worker unions, is made up of 22 Democrats and three Republicans. Democrats will be faced with funding public worker pay raises as well as Gov. Ben Cayetano’s second try at reforming the civil service system.
