Patt Morrison's Inside Politics column in the L.A. Times reports the City Hall rumor that if Bustamante is elected governor, new councilman Tony Cardenas will return to Sacramento as the appointed lieutenant governor. She also has the ex-denizen of City Hall, Mark Fabiani -- who was the mayoral chief of staff to Tom Bradley before going to work for Bill Clinton -- surfacing as press spokesman for Gen. Wesley Clark. Rick Orlov's Monday column in the Daily News has more on the shakeup in mayor Jim Hahn's office.
