SPRINGFIELD -- State
Sen. Larry Bomke,
R-Springfield, (right) spoke as a sponsor of Gary Wright (left)
during the Illinois Senate Executive Appointments Committee session
on Thursday, when committee members recommended Wright's appointment
to be the new director of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency.
Wright is a resident of the 50th District and was recently appointed
by Gov. Blagojevich to be the IEMA director. However, for Wright to
be officially named director, his appointment must be confirmed by
the Senate Executive Appointments Committee as well as the entire
Senate.
The Illinois Emergency
Management Agency is responsible for coordinating the state's
disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery programs
and activities.
