 For Whom the City of Bell TollsPosted on Sep 21, 2010
Police have arrested current and former city officials who are accused of pilfering millions from the taxpayers of Bell. The small Los Angeles suburb gained national notoriety as a poster town for bureaucratic corruption, and authorities wasted no time investigating and arresting the alleged nest featherers.

I despise these guys of course, but for weeks NPR & KPCC & KCRW have been telling us their contracts with City of Bell are airtight and legit, however wrongheaded & evil they might be. I’m uneasy with prosecutions made to please torch-bearing mobs.
I also haven’t heard anyone persuasively refute Robert Rizzo’s claim that his compensation was contractually tied to the amount he saved the city. The argument that deserves a fair hearing.
