The state Senate has two new budget committee chairman, Charlie Dannelly of Charlotte and Charles Albertson of Beulaville.
They replace Sens. Kay Hagan of Greensboro and Walter Dalton of Rutherfordton, who will step down to "advisory" roles, reports Lynn Bonner. Read: They don't have to go to all the meetings.
Hagan and Dalton are running for higher office, she for U.S. Senate and he for lieutenant governor.
Dannelly and Albertson join Sen. Linda Garrou of Winston-Salem as the so-called "big chairs" on the Senate budget writing committee.

Higher office? U.S. Senate and lieutenant governor are nice, but surely there is no higher office than serving in the General Assembly. Except maybe being a political cartoonist.
