Boss Hogg Naifeh is House Speaker, not Majority Leader, that’s Gary Odom, a twit sitting in a rodent gerrymandered district that drew out the former Republican Minority Leader, John Chiles, back in the early ‘90s.

In the Senate, it’s the Senate Speaker that also is Lieutenant Governor (the only state in the country that has a leader with that title, since Speakers usually refer to House leaders). The Majority Leader is Mark Norris. Ron Ramsey is the former Majority Leader. Unusually, the Senate Majority Leader doesn’t have much power, all that power is vested in the Senate Speaker, but never is the Speaker and Majority Leader from different parties, as it was during the 2005-07 when John Wilder had his last embarrassing turn in the top job.

I should have verified the actual names of people and positions instead of winging it, but I thought that the Kurita story needed more information. Thanks for the corrections.
