City Attorney Starts Reorganization Plan
Los Angeles City Atty. Rocky Delgadillo said Monday that he spent his first 100 days in office completely reviewing the municipal law office and has begun implementing his reorganization plan.
He said the changes reflect his main priorities: keeping neighborhoods safe, conducting “meaningful” police reform and saving taxpayers’ dollars from high judgments and settlements.
His moves also reflect a subtle criticism of Mayor James K. Hahn, who was city attorney for 16 years.
Several longtime veterans of the city attorney’s office complained that some of their colleagues are being moved aside to make room for new hires. They also complained that Delgadillo is creating new high-level positions that will produce an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.
