State Sen. Michael Hastings (D-Frankfort) will not be re-appointed to head a legislative panel in next year’s session of the Illinois General Assembly, according to Illinois senate president Don Harmon (D-Oak Park).
“I do not expect Sen. Hastings to be wielding a committee gavel anytime soon,” Harmon told WBEZ Chicago. Harmon said that he would not re-appoint Hastings as chairman of the Senate Energy and Public Utilities Committee or any other legislative committee when the new session starts in January.
