Hahn Names Lawyer to DWP Commission
From Times Staff Reports
LOS ANGELES
Mayor James K. Hahn on Friday appointed Police Commissioner and lawyer Silvia Saucedo to the city commission overseeing the Department of Water and Power to replace Leland Wong.
Wong, a prolific political fundraiser and former director of government relations for Kaiser Permanente, resigned from the water and power commission in January after Kaiser officials said an investigation showed he had misused HMO funds for political purposes.
Saucedo’s appointment must be approved by the City Council.
