'Council member Ridley-Thomas has a right to due process and that should take place in the court of law,' said Councilman Curren Price
Suspended Los Angeles City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas, who is facing federal corruption charges for alleged misdeeds committed while he was a member of the county Board of Supervisors, had his city salary and benefits reinstated by the council today.
Ridley-Thomas reached a $364,573 settlement in his lawsuit against the city controller and the city. 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. Councilman Curren Price said the council decision"corrects an action that should have never been allowed to happen in the first place."
