Despite his pledge last year to join other Oakland elected officials in taking a 10 percent pay cut, Mayor Ron Dellums has continued to collect his full $183,000-a-year salary, a spokesman for the mayor confirms.

The spokesman, Paul Rose, declined to say precisely why the mayor took the extra $18,300 in pay this past year -- but there is speculation that he needed the money to help deal with his troubled personal finances.

Dellums almost looks like Poopdeck Pappy from the old Popeye cartoons. Only he isn’t funny.

We live in country with different rules for different races.
If you are black..and a politician..the IRS treats you differently than a white business ower. I don’t blame them too much..just imagine being an IRS agent that is trying to collect from Red.

Har!

Remember all the fun the FEC had with Sharpton during his “presidential election campaign”?

I think they just gave up on him. Expecting him to follow the rules was just an exercise in futility.

Why even throw stones at the Dems anymore?

They are not perfect,actually they are pretty much worthless trash and the rule here is to stop asking to behave like anything but trash.

All their Denials is just their Swansong at this point.
