Former DWP Board President Nick Patsaouras sued the DWP Wednesday to force it to hand over $73.5 million it had promised to the City of Los Angeles.
Patsaouras, an influential City Hall and Department of Water and Power critic who co-chairs the Saving LA Project’s Rate Payer Advocate Committee with Jack Humphreville, resigned from the DWP Board 18 months in protest with the direction the mayor was moving on utility policy.
The DWP backed out of the agreement when the City Council rejected the department’s proposed rate hikes. The lawsuit names the DWP, four members of the Commissioner board and DWP Interim General Manager David S. Freeman.
Westside lawyer and activist, Noel Weiss, handled the filing.
