LOS ANGELES—Suspended City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas—who is facing federal corruption charges for misdeeds allegedly committed while he was a member of the county Board of Supervisors—had his city salary and benefits reinstated by the council Dec. 7 after he reached an over $360,000 settlement in his lawsuit against City Controller Ron Galperin and the city.
Galperin had suspended Ridley-Thomas’ pay and benefits after the councilman’s indictment.
