5. It sounds like somebody might be twisting Rozzi's arm to step down (?)

I don't know, it's a complete guess on my part.

Mr. Rozzi has his own reasons for sticking this out. He's wants to make sure the child endangerment (pedophile) laws get the statute of limitations extended because it's pitifully short now. (I think the charges must be filed within 3 years of the occurrence, and it's way too short.) That's been his goal all along, and for some reason the strategy is to get a constitutional amendment passed. Wouldn't an Executive Order by the Governor have been an easier way to do this? So he still doesn't have his amendment bill passed, and it's going to miss the deadline for getting it in for the May primary.

If Mr. Rozzi gives up the gavel in favor of Joanna McClinton, he'd better have an ironclad guarantee from her that the amendment gets her first priority. Otherwise, why would he step down? I'm just spitballin' here because I don't have any insider knowledge.
