Los Angeles Citymember Charged With Embezzlement and Conflicts of Interest

Los Angeles City Councilmember Curren Price has been charged with embezzlement, perjury, and conflict of interest for voting on projects in which he had a financial interest.
Price's wife received over $150,000 from developers before Price voted to approve their projects.
Price received nearly $34,000 in medical benefits from the city for his now-wife while still married to another woman.
Price is the fourth Los Angeles city council member in recent years to face corruption charges.
The charges are the latest in a series of scandals that have shaken trust in Los Angeles city government.
