LOCAL : Guthman Named to Ethics Panel
City Controller Rick Tuttle today named USC journalism professor and Pulitzer Prize-winner Edwin Guthman as his appointee to the voter-approved city Ethics Commission.
Guthman, 70, who also worked for the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-Mass.), will serve as Tuttle’s representative on the five-member commission, which was part of a package of political reforms approved by voters in June, inspired by a series of scandals that rocked City Hall over the last two years.
Four other appointments are still pending, two by Mayor Tom Bradley and one each by City Atty. James Hahn and Council President John Ferraro.
Guthman is a former editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer and former national editor of the Los Angeles Times.
