LA Times:
The Bell salary scandal grew Friday when the city acknowledged that more city workers received high salaries, including two who made more than $400,000 a year and three who made more than $200,000.
Bell's interim city manager, Pedro Carrillo, announced the salaries at a news conference Friday, vowing that it was "a new day" for Bell. He said the city attorney would immediately launch a salary study to insure that salaries are commensurate with experience and the area. Several activists disrupted the news conference, furious at the new revelations.
"We will take some very firm and bold moves," Carrillo said. "It could mean termination or reduction."
The lavish salaries released Friday show that that at least seven additional city employees – beyond the top three administrators reported by The Times – were making more than the average city manager in Los Angeles County. Among the highly paid are the director of administrative services, $422,707; director of general services, $421,402; the director of community services, $273,542; business development coordinator, $295,627; and a police captain earning $238,075. The names of the employees were not immediately released.
