California City Officials Arrested in Salary Scandal

Fox News:

LOS ANGELES -- Eight current and former Bell city officials were arrested Tuesday as part of a corruption probe in the small, working-class city of Bell, where residents were outraged after learning officials were paying themselves hundreds of thousands of dollars in salaries.

The suspects were booked Tuesday into county facilities and will be kept away from other inmates for their protection, Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.

He would not release the names of those arrested, though the district attorney's office scheduled a news conference to discuss details.

The arrests were the latest twist in a scandal that emerged in July with the disclosure that City Manager Robert Rizzo was paid nearly $800,000 a year -- almost twice the salary of President Barack Obama.

So far very few (if any) news sources say the obvious about this group. It applies to all of them and involves the letter 'D'.

They should be hanged by their thumbs and then serve jail time. The voters bear some responsibility. They voted at least one of the clowns in Or where they AWOL while council meetings were going on?

 

 

I understand from a reliable source that we have this going on nation wide, too.
