Three More Fantasy Candidates for LADOT’s General Manager
I got a couple of complaints via email after Wednesday's story that with all of the effort we put in to finding the perfect candidate for the new General Manager for LADOT, we overlooked candidates from our own back yard. Even as I type these words, a comment came in on a previous story that said of the General Manager search, "Los Angeles has one the most complex highway and street systems in the country, and an outsider who is unfamiliar with the territory would be at a disadvantage."

In this corner, we have the LADOT's answer to Donald Shoup, Amir Sedadi. In the far corner, in an immaculately pressed suit, we have John Fisher.
