A committee of lawmakers that oversees the state lottery — but has no official power — has made a few personnel moves. The influential Permanent Joint Committee on State Lottery switches its chairmanship between the House and the Senate. The one-year term of Sen. Maryellen Goodwin, D-Providence, ended last week and the committee unanimously voted to name Rep. William San Bento Jr., D-Pawtucket, the new chairman. Also, Sen. John F. McBurney III, D-Pawtucket, joined the committee last week, filling a vacancy created when Sen. Michael J. Damiani, D-East Providence, opted not to seek another term. smayerow@projo.com
