Local News in Brief : County Raises Cleared
Raises for 28 Los Angeles County department heads may go forward, Superior Court Judge Diane Wayne ruled Friday.
The salary increases had been challenged by Peter A. O’Neil, a candidate for the Board of Supervisors against incumbent Mike Antonovich. O’Neil filed suit, charging that the raises were approved improperly.
Wayne agreed that the Board of Supervisors erred by approving the raises last March 28 without first notifying the public by placing the issue on the board’s meeting agenda.
But Wayne said the supervisors rectified the mistake by voting again on the increases earlier this month, after protests by O’Neil.
