Cooley gets his raise

He got his raise. So instead of making $236,829 a year, he'll make $292,300 a year. That's a $55,471 raise.

He's now one of the highest-paid government officials anywhere.

A 2 BD, 1 BA home in Azusa: $260,000
A used 2004 Rolls Royce Phantom: $200,000
Cooley's compensation for an ever-expanding workload: priceless
