Out of the gate, Lt. Gov.-Elect Phil Bryant plans to shake things up by asking the Legislature to shorten the normal 125-day term for the first session of a new term to 90 days, a move that he says will save over $800,000.
Democrats are certain to oppose that move, but it will set the tone for an interesting session.
I look for Bryant to be his own man as lieutenant governor. I also look for a few longtime powerbrokers in the Senate to be serving on different committees. Bryant agrees with Barbour on a lot of issues, but he has some issues of his own and I think he'll surprise some folks who believe he will be Haley's wind-up toy.
