As a reminder The LA Times revealed that City Manager Robert Rizzo received a $787,637 annual salary, police Chief Randy Adams received $457,000 and Assistant City Manager Angela Spaccia received $376,288. The constituents in the city of Bill in California were outraged and protested for their removal. All three resigned and received no severage pay but will receive their pension. But, this is not the end because the constituents are targeting others.
LA Times:
Nearly 300 residents marched through the streets of the city of Bell on Sunday, demanding the resignation of the mayor, the vice mayor and two members of the City Council after revelations that officials in one of the smallest and poorest cities in Los Angeles County were paid unusually high salaries.
It was a striking demonstration for a working-class city where civic engagement traditionally has been muted. The raucous crowd trudged to the homes and workplaces of Mayor Oscar Hernandez, Vice Mayor Teresa Jacobo and City Council members Luis Artiga and George Mirabal, each time pausing for a moment of silence and reflection, then erupting with cries of "fuera!" — "out!"
Some in the crowd showed up wearing T-shirts featuring a city seal and the words: "My city is more corrupt than your city."
