An email floating around Democratic circles suggests more turnover is in store for Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's media operation. Press Secretary Joe Ramallo recently moved up 1st Street to run communications at the Department of Water and Power, and former Bob Hertzberg and Wendy Greuel spokesman Matt Szabo just came on. But a political consultant who has worked for Villaraigosa is sending this email, which found its way to LA Observed:
