@TheGussReport on Twitter - On Tuesday, a prominent Los Angeles attorney who had been nominated by Mayor Karen Bass to serve on the uber-mundane Los Angeles City Employees' Retirement System (LACERS), was unanimously confirmed by City Council.
A few minutes later, city personnel sheepishly advised that the nominee withdrew his name from consideration, requiring their undoing the appointment and raising a few questions.
Not at City Council, but here. Like...
- Why wasn't this accomplished attorney appointed to a logical post, like civil rights boards or the LA Police Commission?
- Why was this man nominated by Bass, confirmed by City Council, with no apparent qualifications to oversee LACERS' tens of billions of dollars?
- Why did City Council vote on his nomination despite his failure to provide financial disclosures, as is required by law?
- And what, if anything, does it have to do with this 1974 one-hit wonder?
