Former state Rep. Angela C. Hatton of Whitesburg is the newest member of the Kentucky Public Service Commission.

Gov. Andy Beshear signed the appointment March 10.

Hatton, who will serve as the PSC’s vice chair, replaces Marianne Butler of Louisville whose appointment was not confirmed by the Senate.
