Naked City Rule No. 1: It doesn't matter what you know...It matters who you know
Tim McOsker, former chief of staff to Mayor Jim Hahn, has joined Mayer Brown Rowe & Maw in the law firm's government and global trade practice group, according to the Daily Journal. McOsker joins others at Mayer Brown with insider solid connections in LA. Former state legislators Bob Hertzberg and Dario Frommer and former Clinton Administration Cabinet member Mickey Kantor. McOsker cites the better commute for his move from Christensen, Glaser, Fink, Jacobs, Weil & Shapiro.
FORGET ROBBING THE RICH TO HELP THE POOR; IN L.A. WE ROB THE MIDDLE CLASS TO HELP THE RICH AND THE POOR
Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards joined Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa at the Yankee Apartment building in downtown Los Angeles on Monday to announce creation of the New Generation Fund, a $100 million program for affordable housing. There has long beeen a lot of questions about just what that means in a town like L.A. with the highest ratio of apartment dwellers and soaring rates, fees and taxes that squeeze the struggling middle class. "Fifty percent of L.A. families can't afford the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment," the mayor told KPCC. "Housing is the cornerstone of the American dream. But it's slipping through the fingers of too many working families." I wonder if that includes Candy Spelling, widow of TV mogul AAron Spelling, who paid a record $47 million for the top two floors of a Century City residential tower under construction.
