Walker nominees face rejection by Illinois Senate committee
The Illinois Senate Executive Committee rejected two of Gov Daniel Walkers nominees for major posts while endorsing Nolan Jones for director of personnel. Jones pledged to protect patient care amid department cuts. One rejection involved John Nolan for the Pardon and Parole Board and Beverly Addante for assistant director of the Personnel Department. The panel split along party lines, signaling a possible truce between Democratic governor allies and Chicago mayor Daley factions. Nolan’s confirmation faces delay amid a union election dispute.
