La Salle politician gets state committee assignments

State Representative Andy Skoog looks like he’ll be busy in Springfield.

The Democrat from La Salle has been appointed to five different House committees. He will have a say in the Transportation, Education, Small Business, Veterans’ Affairs and Agriculture Committees.

Skoog and the rest of the House are out today but are supposed to get back to work tomorrow afternoon. He’s seeking his first full term in office this November.
Skoog will have to beat Streator Republican Jerry Long.
