Montebello hires John Edwards

This just in from reporter Amanda Baumfeld:

The city of Montebello recently hired John Edwards (no, not the former presidential candidate) as its economic development consultant for $50,000.

What’s interesting about that is Edwards was the campaign manager for council members Mary Anne Saudedo and Robert Urteaga.

Additionally, the city may be hiring a third city administrator in charge of economic development for $227,000 a year.
