IMO, most people don't understand the significance of being stripped of committee assignments. A vote on a committee is how members bring home the bacon for their districts, and trade with members on other committees for legislation to divvy up the pot.

It's the voters who get punished, not the member. | IMO, most people don't understand the significance of being stripped of committee assignments.
