As if the council pay wasn’t criminal enough, you didn’t mention the fact that Bernard Parks is also receiving 90 percent of his LAPD salary in the form of a lifetime pension that has now swelled to an incredible $265,000, or $22,083 on top of his $178,000 council stipend! Congratulations, Councilman Parks, you now earn $443,000 a year courtesy of the taxpayers of L.A.! If Mr. Parks were to run for U.S. president, that would be a pay cut (Obama earns $400,000). But make sure we cut those dastardly neighborhood-council budgets! Amazing.
