Were there not a couple of cities in southern Los Angeles area which had similar problems?
They spent money hand over fist & kept taxing the few residents who lived there. Personal piggy bank does not describe what I remember. Compton?? City of Commerce?

Yes. The Mayor, city manager, and police chief made more than 500k per year in salary. The state stepped in and several were charged for other crimes but the salaries and retirement of the police chief were legal since they voted themselves the raises through the city council.
