Geez. That’s all I can say; I am simply dumbfounded.

Yep, I spent the ages of 3 to 9 in Bell Gardens, which isn’t far from Bell, and the area was rough then(1951 when we left). I have heard many horror stories about what the area is like now and they couldn’t pay me enough to live there now.

I could go into private business and make that money.

But then you'd have to call yourself a dirty rotten scumbag capitalist.....how would you cope, poor darling?

When you post to someone make sure that someone made the remark you are referring to. I didn't make the following remark:I could go into private business and make that money.

but still you sent your comment about it to me. Please be more careful in the future.

We wonder why we are so highly taxed in California it due to this type of unjustifyed spending of salaries to these holdup artists.
Bell's citizens really need to see that these pickpockets are removed from office.
We also need to make sure that they are not rewarded with a hefty Severance Package as they are kicked out/and or carried off to jail.

Yes, you could make an argument that a city manager should make a good salary if the city were Minneapolis or Boston. But Bell isn't even a city per se. It's a suburban cesspool. A high school student could do as well.
