BREAKING Los Angeles Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas to receive salary, benefits again as he remains suspended and faces corruption trial
Los Angeles City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas sued the city Friday over the decision to suspend his pay and benefits following his indictment in a federal corruption case.Suspended City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas - who is facing federal corruption charges - had his city salary and benefits reinstated by the council Wednesday after he reached a $364,573 settlement in his lawsuit against the city.
Ridley-Thomas was suspended from the council last October after his indictment. The lawsuit claimed that Galperin acted unilaterally to cut Ridley-Thomas' pay and did so to help his campaign for state controller. Galperin finished fifth in the field of six. Galperin's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Galperin leaves office next week.
Price, along with Council President Paul Krekorian, introduced two motions earlier this year asking the city attorney to determine if the city controller has the authority to withhold Ridley-Thomas' pay.
