Bunch o' new commissioners

Mayor Villaraigosa has appointed investor and former Warner Bros VP (and Clinton Admninistration staffer) Sean Burton to the citywide planning commission. Also: Attorney Justin Sanders to the Community Redevelopment Agency board, and Green LA director Jonathan Parfrey to the DWP board. On the L.A. Times website, David Zahniser calls Parfrey "someone who tends to be a bit more of a cheerleader for the mayor’s initiatives than [former commissioner Nick] Patsaouras, a critic of the solar ballot measure."
