LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The budget crisis in L.A. has prompted many city officials and staff members to volunteer for a salary cut. But not everyone is willing to make the sacrifice.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa says he's taking a 16-percent pay cut to lead by example. Thousands of city workers have taken pay cuts, along with no raises.
As of Thursday, 10 Los Angeles City Council members have volunteered to share the pain. Five council members have refused to cut their own pay. That includes one councilman who gets a $265,000 yearly city pension on top of his salary.
