Compton council moves to cut 'illegal' payments to themselves
The L.A. County district attorney's office has warned Compton City Council members and the mayor that their pay for sitting on certain commissions is illegal.After initially defending the payments, the Compton City Council has moved to dissolve two commissions that the district attorney’s office alleged were illegally paying each council member and the mayor $1,000 a month.
The council unanimously voted this week to disband the agencies after Los Angeles County prosecutors said that the commissions served no purpose other than to provide additional compensation to city officials.
