Gerry Miller is the new Chief Legislative Analyst for the City Council. He has been the acting CLA and was previously executive officer in the second-floor suite. Council President Alex Padilla announced the hiring today:

In an era of term-limits it is important that the City Council have a Chief Legislative Analyst who is willing to go in new directions but also has a firm understanding of the City's commitments. With more than 20 years experience with the City, Gerry Miller has a thorough knowledge of all areas of City government and he has the skills necessary to be an effective CLA.

Now let's hope the City Hall reporters can find out what deals were cut. Tough thing to do on deadline, but here's hoping. Miller replaces Ron Deaton, who bumped over to run the DWP last year.
