Musical Chairs at LA City Hall
By Wally S. EdgeWhile LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has been running around the US supporting Hillary Clinton’s about to fail bid for the Democratic nomination, he continues to ignore the City he is supposed to be running. Rumors of major changes in the City Hall family are about to become reality this coming week. City CAO Karen Sisson will be resigning (we’re told on Tuesday) and Chief of Staff Robin Kramer is about to announce her resignation to take a position with a local private University. This leaves Antonio with two major holes to fill with one of them needing Council approval. Does he still have the juice to get his choice for CAO through the Council without a fight?
Also, the inside word on the new CAO is that HE is a former high-ranking Antonio staffer who is being enticed back to City Hall from the private sector.
