Ex-Legislator Hughes Appointed to Panel
Retired state Sen. Teresa Hughes (D-Inglewood) has been appointed to the California Medical Assistance Commission, Senate leader John L. Burton announced.
At the part-time post, Hughes, who was prohibited by term limits from seeking reelection last year, will be paid $99,000 a year, the same sum she received as a legislator.
The seven-member commission contracts with health care organizations to provide services to Medi-Cal recipients. Three members are former lawmakers.
Hughes, who replaced former Sen. Leroy Greene (D-Sacramento) on the commission, was elected to the Assembly in 1975 and to the Senate in 1992.
