Assembly Speaker Mike Sheridan has announced who will chair the various committees in the Assembly.
Kim Hixson will take over for Steve Nass as head of the Colleges and Universities Committee. Hixson gets the post because Democrats have regained control of the Assembly. He is a professor at UW-Whitewater. Nass, who represents part of the Whitewater area, has been critical of the UW System in the past.
