City Councilman Chris Lancaster is quitting as an administrative assistant for state Sen. William Campbell (R-Hacienda Heights) to open a consulting firm to help private businesses deal with local governments.
Lancaster, who has worked in the senator's Industry district office since 1986, said his resignation will be effective June 15.
Lancaster, 30, has not decided on a location or a name for the firm but said he might call it Lancaster Consulting. The company will guide developers through the permit process for construction projects, Lancaster said.
