Assembly Republican Leader George Plescia announced the following as the members of his Leadership Team.

I’ve made an inquiry to find out exactly the responsibilities of some of these positons.  Caucus Chairman and being the Vice Chairman of a key policy committee are more or less self-explanitory in terms of added responsibility (and presumably staff positions).  But it is unclear to me what you "get" if you are one of five Assistant Leaders or Six Whips.  Do these folks all meet as a leaderhip team?  Is there staffing augmentation?  Do tell!  In the meantime, you can figure each of these folks played a key role in the election of Plescia, either in helping him to get votes, or helping him by getting out of the way…
