Should a city manager from one of Los Angeles County's poorest cities earn twice as much as President Obama?
Residents from the working-class town of Bell erupted in outrage after learning that their city pays its officials some of the highest local-government salaries in the nation, including City Manager Robert Rizzo who takes home nearly $800,000 per year.

So where is the Tar & Feathers when you need it?
And how MANY times did these box of rocks vote this government into office? Expecting some part of some other persons pie to be given to them.
and now, after how many years they have woke up to the fact that their city hall is evil.
and they are still letting the evil humans get a retirement?
priceless.
So lets get this straight...the people are being paid car company executive type salaries, bank executive type salaries, oil company style salaries...and they JUST NOW noticed this!?!??!??!?
"I've lived here for 38 years..." (at least I think thats what he said, what with that thick spanish accent...)
AND HE JUST NOW SEES THE HIGH SALARIES!?!??!?
Do we just say, "they deserve what they voted for" or "thank God they are finally waking up".
Oh and hey, that well dressed lady that was given two quotes was labled "committee member Basta", what the heck is that? Is that some front organization for Che lovers?
Hm, looked it up and its Spanish for stop. In this context it means, "Bell Association to Stop the Abuse".
