Judge Jacobs resigns, Mr Roth appointed to Finance

Update I had Mr Roth's first name as Philip, it is Patrick and I have corrected it below. My apologies for the mistake.

Curt Brown has news on his blog that Mr Jacobs has stepped down and Mr Patrick Roth has been reappointed to the Finance Committee.

Thanks to both for their service. I am sad to see Judge Jacobs leave. I thought his contributions where especially insightful on the committee.

How about one of the new applicants? Whatever happens with all the new interest and resumes, we never hear who applied but got turned down. Covert operations? Roth again, he is a nice man but he has served already. New energy and a fresh professional.

I would like to thank George Jacobs for his service on the FinComm. My observations of him at these meetings led me to believe that he is a smart man who was very good at keeping the committee focussed and rational. When the temptation to get political arose, he was adept at bringing the committee back on the proper track of non-partisanship. Again, thank you, Mr. Jacobs.
