CHICAGO–(ENEWSPF)–August 10, 2017. “I want to congratulate State Senator Toi Hutchinson (D-Olympia Fields) on her election as president of the National Conference of State Legislatures for the 2018-2019 term. As chair of the Senate Revenue Committee, Senator Hutchinson was incredibly instrumental in negotiating the state’s first bipartisan, balanced budget in over two years. The service she has shown over the last eight years in the Illinois Senate will make her an effective advocate for state lawmakers across the nation.”
