Voting members of the Los Angeles Ethics Commission have unanimously rejected the paltry $11,250 that leaders of the commission agreed to fine ex-CBS CEO Les Moonves for his role in the LAPD corruption scandal related to his own accusations of sexual misconduct.
Made public last week but actually handed out on Feb. 5, the $11,250 fine against Moonves was not determined by the commission itself. It was part of a settlement agreement approved by executive director David Tristan and deputy director Heather Holt, the commission’s two top staffers, and by director of enforcement Kenneth Hardy.
The commission also rejected the proposed $2500 fine against ex-CBS executive Ian Metrose.
