Well, we knew that newly minted Assembly Speaker Karen Bass was the Chief Lieutenant of former Speaker Fabian "Louis Vuitton" Nunez. While we expect, of course, for her to be just as liberal as Nunez, if not more so, we hope that the similarities between the two will be minimal from there. When King Fabian was in the room, he was the most important person there. If you had any doubts, you could just ask him and he would tell you.
One thing that is staying the same in the office of the Assembly Speaker is the Deputy Chief of Staff for Public Relations flaking as Bass has retained long-time FR "sparring mate" Steve Maviglio.
As a matter of fact, Maviglio will be regularly met on the battlefield by his counterpart in Assembly Republican Leader Mike Villines’ office, Morgan Crinklaw. The two will be battling in out in a war of words regularly on the Capitol Weekly website. You can check out their first exchange here.
Both are capable spin-masters, but of course Maviglio has the tougher job for one simple reason — Crinklaw has truth on his side, and Maviglio has to make stuff up!
Good luck guys.

The best spin is the truth, and I’ve got plenty of that on my side. Thanks for the kudos (I think)!
