Crooked Outta Compton: Compton City Officials Illegally Pad Their Salaries - Centennial High Alumni Network2024-03-28T14:21:24Zhttp://www.centennialhighalumni.com/forum/topics/crooked-outta-compton-compton-city-officials-pad-their-salaries?commentId=4977783%3AComment%3A118838&x=1&feed=yes&xn_auth=noThe city of Compton has, for…tag:www.centennialhighalumni.com,2016-05-12:4977783:Comment:1188382016-05-12T21:29:07.705ZReuben Muhammad ('83)http://www.centennialhighalumni.com/profile/ReubenMuhammad
<p>The city of Compton has, for some time, been a "target" for these kinds of controversies. Truth is, these officials are, in all likelihood, not doing anything that their White counterparts aren't ALSO doing in their cities. But because Compton has the potential to become a beacon of hope and empowerment for Black and Brown people, whenever it appears that said potential is about to be realized, then comes the "sting" operation...to dash the hopes of the citizens, and undermine their trust…</p>

<p>$80,000 seems to me to be a reasonable income for the job omayor of a city the size of Compton. I think a mayor should be paid the full $80,00 and fined for missing any meeting or events. </p>

<p><strong>I found this photo of the Compton Mayor Aja Brown with the District Attorney Jackie Lacey along with Mark Ridley Thomas and an unknown lady. Could it be that the District Attorney gave Ms. Brown a warning because she knows her? Why did the Ex-Mayor Eric Perrodin never charged for his $$$ money crimes while he was Mayor in Compton? Was it because he use to work for the District Attorney's office and they would not bring charges against their own? And why was Ex-Mayor Omar Bradley the only Mayor of these three that was brought up on charges, arrested then sentenced, and many years later found not guilty of taking $$$ money from the City of Compton. Seems to me that the corruption is coming from the L.A. County District Attorney's Office. Out of these three Mayors, Ex-Mayor Omar Bradley did the most for the City of Compton of all three of them and he was the Mayor who lobbied and got the large companies to come to Compton and bring their businesses to the city. Ex-Mayor Omar Bradley really got a raw deal. Mayor Aja Brown and Ex-Mayor Perrodin need to be arrested and sentenced as well.</strong></p>

She never lived in Compton anyway she lived and grew up in Pasadena, went to USC and came to Compton for the 2014 election because she was fired from her previous job at USC. She has said that her grandmother and her mother use to live in Compton and that her grandmother was supposedly killed in the city. My family, friends and I have found no evidence of any of that. No one in Compton as far as I've heard had ever heard of her before last year's election. She is a conniver, a crook and a liar. I believe that she is a plant that was sent to Compton by L.A.'s Mark Ridley-Thomas to anonymously do his bidding and his dirty work in the city of Compton. Last year Mark Ridley-Thomas and Aja Brown both wanted to link Compton to Pasadena and have a train line going from Compton to Pasadena and Pasadena to Compton but when it was put on the ballot in Compton and Downtown L.A. it was voted down. She is on Ridley-Thomas payroll and now because she is Mayor of Compton she is on Compton's payroll. Don't let her smile and her talk fool you she is a straightup thief. <br/> <br/> <br/>I also read that she recently went to Africa to do some charitable work and will be going back to help there. Help those in Africa? She's not even doing anything in Compton. Its a shame with all of the huge potholes up and down the Compton streets tearing up residents cars. But why should she care she has no ties to Compton because she never lived in our city and she could care less. And I read on one of the groups on Facebook that someone who lives in the same <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.target.com/p/calico-critters-luxury-townhome/-/A-14652931" target="_blank" class="vglnk"><span>Townhome</span></a> complex as the Mayor does, said that the only person that they ever see is the Mayor's husband once a week picking up the mail in the complex. And the way that the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.target.com/p/calico-critters-luxury-townhome/-/A-14652931" target="_blank" class="vglnk"><span>Townhome</span></a>s are designed anyone can see if they truly reside there because their lights are never on. The Mayor Aja Brown & her husband only uses the Townhome in Compton to pretend that they have a Compton residence where they reside. And who's footing the bill for her Africa trips? I sure hope it's not the City of Compton? Mayor you need to do some work in Compton for the salary that you are pulling instead of trying to milk Compton dry and not doing nothing to earn your salary. And if ? and when ? Dr. Dre gives the money that he promised from his Compton CD sales for a so called <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=performing+arts+center" target="_blank" class="vglnk"><span>Performing</span> <span>Arts</span> <span>Center</span></a> to supposely be built in Compton for the residents who do you think will be in charge of that money? <br/> <br/> <br/>I don't know who our next mayor will be but I for one sure hope that it will not be Aja "no caring" Brown again. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>-Noreen Newman aka Neen</b></font></font></p>
