Los Angeles City Councilmember Curren Price says he won’t leave quietly and is innocent of D.A. charges of corruption.
Los Angeles City Councilmember Curren Price said on Wednesday, June 21, that it would be “inappropriate” for a city council committee that’s meeting this Friday to recommend suspending him from his seat on the council until he’s had a chance to address corruption charges recently filed against him.
“Until I have had an opportunity to address the charges in court, it is inappropriate for the Rules, Elections, and Intergovernmental Relations Committee to recommend my suspension from the City Council,” he continued.
Price previously called the charges against him “unwarranted” and is expected to be arraigned July 13.
