The CEO of Los Angeles’ Department of Water and Power is stepping down from her role, the mayor’s office announced Wednesday. Janisse Quiñones will be leaving the $750,000 a year job to return home to Puerto Rico, where she will take on a leadership role on the island, “supporting the modernization and transformation” of its electric grid, Mayor Karen Bass’ office said. “Janisse brought steady leadership and engineering expertise to LADWP during a critical period for our city,” Bass said.
