The lead committee of the Joint Committee is the Committee on Executive, with Montserrado County Districts #9 and 8 Representatives Munah Pelham-Youngblood and Acarous M. Gray as the chair and co-chair respectively. Speaker Chambers also instructed the Joint Committee to speed-up its collaboration with the Senate to set-up the organization and beautification of the event. With four days to the Annual Message, there are reports that Joint Committee is in a frenzied rush to prepare the setting for the historic occasion. The Joint Session of the 54th Legislature will be co-presided by Vice President Jewel Howard-Taylor, who is President of the Senate. The House’s press director, Isaac G. Redd, told the Daily Observer yesterday that only official invitees will be allowed to enter the William R. Tolbert Joint Assembly Hall for the occasion.
