Rodney King Settlement
King got our sympathy as a victim of a brutal beating. Now he will get our scorn as a greedy opportunist. From our hard-pressed tax coffers he has the gall to reject more money than he could have earned in a lifetime. He and his greedy attorney should only have the trial result in a smaller award than what our City Council offered.
As an educator from 1952 to 1984, my total gross earnings were well below half that total and I resent his affront to our sensitivities by snubbing a very generous offer.
