bye bye ortega.JPGFormer Pasadena reporter Fred Ortega is outta here. Ortega, who also covered regional politics, will be the newest staffer for Board of Equalization representative Judy Chu. Today is his last day with the paper. Dan Abendschein, who has been covering West Covina, will begin covering Pasadena as of Monday, and I will shift over as the West Covina reporter.

I knew you were not going to last long at the paper, you were too good. You will be missed. Good people don't last long, I guess Jennifer and Tania will be around for a long, long time.
