Gewe to leave DWP

Gerald Gewe, who has managed water operations at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is leaving his post, according to LA Times reports. That makes three top managers who have left LADWP recently, as the organization is embroiled in scandal. Ironically, for once, Los Angeles Mayor Jim Hahn is not using LADWP to boost his own image. He should be describing the goings-on at LADWP as a shake-up...instead, by allowing people to "retire", they are abdicating responsibility to the organization at large--which is not a good sign for the Department's future.
