LAT's Gold jumps to Washington Post
Annual issue is out this week
The cover piece in the CityBeat issue that came out Thursday happened to recite the litany of investigations, ethical questions and connections swirling around Jim Hahn's run for reelection. Stormy Weather by Bobbi Murray summarizes the ties between Hahn's circle and Fleishman-Hillard, including that Hahn's current press deputy, Shannon Murphy, charged the city $169.74 to read newspaper coverage of a Hahn speech in a local paper while she was still at the PR agency.
