The assessor plans to quit to back a claimant likely to win next year’s election, a move echoing 1975 after District Attorney Joseph Buseh’s death. Richard Nevins of Pasadena, a State Board of Equalization member, is named as a strong replacement possibility, while supervisors weigh the probe into Watson.
