"Tretheway blocks mayor's council committee shuffle

Mayor Kevin Johnson's attempt to shuffle the City Council subcommittees was scuttled last week. Here's the back story, according the parties involved:

Jeff Dorso, the attorney who chaired the mayor's transition team, stopped by Councilman Ray Tretheway's office 90 minutes before last week's council meeting. Dorso wanted to chat about Johnson's proposed strong-mayor initiative, for which Dorso is a legal adviser.

During the talk, the mayor's proposed realignment of two City Council committees came up. It was on that evening's consent agenda - which is normally approved with little discussion."
