Deaton almost official

The city commission that runs the Department of Water and Power formally offered the general manager job on Tuesday to Ron Deaton, the city council's chief legislative analyst. He will get $310,000 a year in the deal and become the city's highest paid official. No obstacles are expected at the council, which has to confirm, and Deaton could take over at the DWP on December 1. Times, Daily News
