Mautino is Illinois’ next Auditor General

Your longtime state representative will have a new job come January 1st.

Democrat Frank Mautino of Spring Valley has been voted in as the new Auditor General. The new gig comes with a six-figure salary and a ten-year term.

House Speaker Mike Madigan made the official nomination of Mautino yesterday.  Madigan praised Mautino for his integrity, honesty and perseverance.

Mautino has represented the 76th District since 1991, taking over for his father. He’s had an eventful year beating esophageal cancer and now moving onto to a new state job.

Mautino got unanimous support from the Senate for the new job but 10 Republicans, most from the suburbs voted against his appointment in the House.
