The Los Angeles Mayor, Council, Controller, and Attorney's salaries are inflated too high.
December 8, 2010 Los Angeles Times
Gil Cedillo, a Los Angeles Democrat who was just elected to the Assembly after being termed out of the Senate, has filed a claim against the state on behalf of all state legislators alleging that the 18% cut in pay and benefits ordered by the California Citizens Compensation Commission was illegal. The pay cut reduced the salaries for legislators from $116,208 to $95,291 effective Dec. 7, 2009, and reduced other compensation, including per diem expenses and car allowances.
What I find most disturbing is the LACK of public outcry which has allowed the Los Angeles Council to attach their LEGISLATIVE BRANCH SALARIES to the JUDICIAL BRANCH, "judges of the Municipal Court."
It is obvious their over inflated legislative branch salaries need to be placed before the voters in a special election which will allow their legislative salaries of over $170,000 a year to be adjusted and consistent with other legislative salaries of $95, 291 or less.
Los Angeles Charter - Article II
Sec. 218. Compensation of Elected Officers
(1) Salaries. Members of the City Council shall be paid a salary equal to that prescribed by law for judges of the Municipal Court of the Los Angeles Judicial District or its successor in the event that court is dissolved or reconstituted.
The Controller shall be paid a salary that is 10% more than that of a Council member. The City Attorney shall be paid a salary that is 20% more than that of a Council member. The Mayor shall be paid a salary that is 30% more than that of a Council member.
The Controller shall be responsible for ascertaining the salary of Municipal Court judges and for setting and adjusting the salaries of elected officers in accordance with this section. Salaries shall be paid in bi-weekly increments unless the Council, by ordinance, prescribes otherwise.
(3) Operative Date of Changes in Salaries. The salaries of elected officers shall be adjusted in the manner provided in this section upon the effective date of any change in the salaries of Municipal Court judges.
