Attorneys of suspended Los Angeles Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas, who faces federal corruption charges, filed court papers Dec. 20 showing a resolution of his lawsuit against the city and then-City Controller Ron Galperin over the cancellation of his salary and benefits.
After the City Council voted to reinstate Ridley-Thomas’s salary and benefits earlier this month, Ridley-Thomas will receive $254,000 in back pay and $99,500 in attorneys’ fees.
