Los Angeles Daily News City Hall reporter Rick Orlov writes about politics on the local, state and national stage.
Now does this include the "free" tax payer car, the "free" tax payer gas card with an allowance of $1500. a month?
What about their pensions?
What other tax payer "freebies" are they getting for
their part time work?
I would really like to know where I could get this info.
Why don't we just pay them $1000. per council meeting that they attend and no more freebies. They don't deserve anymore.
