I guess I missed the beginning of this when the story broke, but who/how did someone find out their salaries?

[Not now, Not ever!]

I THINK The LA Slimes sued them to disclose the salaries, it has been rumored the Bell Cops tipped of the slimes.

Not sure,...I learned about it recently listening to the afternoon KFI John and Ken show.

They said that some of the local cops tipped off the LA Times.

They have a series of article going on this.

Is A City Manager Worth $800,000?

Bell isn’t a big town, or a wealthy one. But some of its top officials are paid two or three times as much as their counterparts elsewhere

July 15, 2010|Jeff Gottlieb and Ruben Vives

Bell, one of the poorest cities in Los Angeles County, pays its top officials some of the highest salaries in the nation, including nearly $800,000 annually for its city manager, according to documents reviewed by The Times.

In addition to the $787,637 salary of Chief Administrative Officer Robert Rizzo, Bell pays Police Chief Randy Adams $457,000 a year, about 50% more than Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck or Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca and more than double New York City’s police commissioner. Assistant City Manager Angela Spaccia makes $376,288 annually, more than most city managers.

I had heard that a new council member blew the whistle when he saw what they were all making. He did not go along with it. He is not the subject of the citizens anger.

Anyone have details on this?
