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.

Douglas would not say why McDade-Dickens was escorted out of City Hall or explain her grievances. He would only confirm that her exit was against her will and that a chaperone watched over her while she was leaving.

Don’t begrudge her over the salary.
I’d wager that she earned every penny.
“I’m pretty sure there are plenty of corrupt White politicians.”
Sure there are.
Been a growing ghetto for decades. Corruption was built in.
It be reparations, you damn cracker.
You again, eh?
#12. More likely “not guilty” “due to a well hung” Mayor Butts.
She looks like a $342,000 assistant to the Butt.
#30. It’s corrupt California. Normal salary rules don’t apply.
#34. Re “How much does the mayor Make”? Well, I’d say as much as she can do in between her typing job.
#38. You mean “Dick’in Butts” re “they were meant to be together?
Do it be?
Well, one side of my family has been in the South since the mid 18th century, so maybe one of them was wealthy enough to own a slave somewhere along the line.
I don’t think I bear the burden of guilt for this.
On this population to salary chatter, you are correct. This is why I’d like for each position in city/county government to be printed each year to the general public with their salary and bonus level.
Leave your hard hat on.
Is there a single black politician within the United States who is not corrupt?
Tim Scott, perhaps.
Ben Carson?
She’s no Lloyd Braun. Should have suggested name tags
Looks like there’s been a little too much in and out...
Apparently $342,000 worth. X several years.
Yeah, and whattayagonnadoaboudit?
Not certain about your issue with me, but just so you know, I don't give a rat's patoot what you think or say about or to me, FRiend.
Have the life you've earned.
“Tim Scott”
I sure hope so.
“Ben Carson”
I don’t know if I’d call him a politician. Has he ever held elective office?
