Melanie McDade-Dickens hasn't been back to her office since July, and her name has been scrubbed from the city website

...

Melanie McDade-Dickens, a former campaign worker for Inglewood Mayor James Butts Jr. who later secured a city job paying $342,000 in salary and benefits, was escorted out of City Hall in July and has not returned, according to her attorney.

McDade-Dickens, who has served as Butts’ aide for the past eight years, was one of the city’s highest paid employees in 2018, according to publicly released figures. But her contact information has been removed from a staff directory on the city’s website and her job now appears to be in limbo.

Though she hasn’t returned to her office, McDade-Dickens hasn’t been fired either, according to her attorney, Carl Douglas, who was a member of the defense team on the O.J. Simpson murder case.

Is this Maxine Waters' district. ?

Say, did you know that Maxine Waters doesn’t even live in her district?

Maxine represents District 43 which includes the high crime/high gang area of South Central LA – a region of Los Angeles so bad even Maxine won’t live there.

Instead, she resides in the tony neighborhood of Hancock Park – not far from Beverly Hills and West Hollywood.

Dang, if I was making that I could probably buy lunch a couple times, Max. Don’t worry, it’s on me!

You’re driving, though.

her attorney, Carl Douglas,

That cat is fast as lighting. In fact it’s a little bit frightening.

Okay, I understand that my information is incomplete, but...

Is there a single black politician within the United States who is not corrupt?

Has anyone else noticed just how quiet Mad-Maxine Waters has been all summer? I haven’t heard her shout herself hoarse over ‘Impeach Foe-dee-Five!’ in a long time. She’s up to something. Not like Maxine to keep her mouth shut.

Clearly, she’s been performing public service. And private service.
