County Supervisor Steve Taylor's appointment to the Commission on Aging was unanimously confirmed by the county board Thursday.

"As an advocate for our community's older adults, I'm honored by this appointment," Taylor said in a news release. "Throughout my public service, I've worked passionately on behalf of our aging population, and I'm eager to help to ensure that Milwaukee County addresses the needs and concerns of this population that deserves our very best."

The Commission on Aging is a governing and policy-making body within the Milwaukee County Department on Aging. Commissioners are responsible for developing and implementing a system of community-based services for residents age 60 and older.

Taylor's district encompasses Hales Corners and most of Oak Creek and Franklin.
