A senior aide to Mayor Eric Garcetti has left City Hall to work for the committee handling Los Angeles' renascent campaign to host the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Jeff Millman, who functioned as Garcetti's most visible spokesman during his 2013 run for mayor and during the first two years of his administration, said Tuesday that he is on a "leave of absence" from the mayor's office to work with the private committee organizing L.A.'s bid for the Summer Games.
Because the organizing committee's campaign could last through 2017 -- when the International Olympic Committee chooses a host city -- that leave could be protracted.
