There are other problematic cities to be sure, but this Bell thing is amazing.

Our police chief here in Glendale was wooed by Bell and went to work for them. His new yearly salary was about $450,000.00.

The guy was a great police chief in our town. He was well liked by everyone. Now this. I’m watching to see if he is one of the people who was arrested this morning.

I’m actually sad to see a guy that everyone liked, reduced to this. Time will tell if he was involved in any criminal activity. I hope not. That salary alone may be problematic. There is also talk of loans to make up portions of salaries or some such.

This is a real stinker of a mess.

What we'll see here is as other towns and cities are scrutinized, they'll start ratting each other out...No different than other common criminals.

First to squeal gets the deal.

Although I don’t approve of the salaries, I am confused about the arrests.

Your police chief was offered a $450,000 position, and he took it (I’d probably do the same thing!).

While the amount is ridiculous, is it illegal in some way?
