So here we go again, another week in the Hahn administration, and one would forbear: Cut young Jim some slack. The guy‘s only been here half a month. Give him a chance to get the feel of things before we get judgmental. Remember how long it took Dick Riordan to start rolling?But just last week, in 24 hours, Jim Hahn did two things that seemed to defy his campaign pledges to renew the city. So it felt like he was rolling in the wrong direction.First, there was the new Police Commission. Rick Caruso, Rose Ochi, David Cunningham III and Silvia Saucedo were named to the high-profile posts, along with renominated Commissioner Herbert ”Bert“ Boeckmann, who has served over 14 years on the panel under Mayors Tom Bradley and Richard Riordan. ”I wanted to make sure that we had experience as well as diversity,“ Hahn said at his first mayoral news conference, where he announced the new members — all of them lawyers. As to experience, well, that depends on what you mean by the term.
