Wisconsin state Sen. Tim Cullen has reconciled with the Democratic caucus and Majority Leader Mark Miller, after Cullen bolted the caucus earlier this week in a dispute over the committee chairmanships.
Cullen will co-chair a Special Committee on Mining, and chair a new Committee on Small Business and Venture Capital.
Cullen’s decision to quit the caucus earlier this week had threatened to undo the party’s narrow 17-16 majority, its biggest victory from the waves of state recall elections in which Democrats failed to unseat Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
