Residents of Bell, a small city in California where outrage over high salaries forced three officials to resign last week, are expected to face off with their elected leaders at a Monday meeting in which they will demand more people step down.
The high salaries dwarf those of people in comparable positions in the nearby, and much larger, city of Los Angeles. First reported by the Los Angeles Times, the Bell salaries have sparked statewide outrage at a time California is grappling with a near $20 billion budget deficit.
Bell’s city council accepted the resignations last week of City Manager Robert Rizzo, Assistant City Manager Angela Spaccia, and Police Chief Randy Adams, who reportedly had a combined salary of more than $1.6 million.
Also on Monday, California Attorney General Jerry Brown, who is running for governor, said he subpoenaed hundreds of records from the city of Bell as part of an investigation to determine whether civil or criminal action should be taken against any city leaders.
