Walker appointees Five nominees endorsed by Senate panel
The Senate Executive Committee approved five of Gov Daniel Walker s nominees and backed insurance director pick Fred Mauck while delaying action on health planning director Mark Lepper and local government affairs director Nancy Philippi. The panel previously approved Mauck as Walker s second insurance director after the first nominee Anthony Angelos withdrew amid reports of ties to crime syndicates and campaign contributions. The House also advanced a marijuana penalty bill allowing probation for possession up to 30 grams to avoid a conviction.
