Bell council used little-noticed ballot measure to skirt state salary limits

"The highly paid members of the Bell City Council were able to exempt themselves from state salary limits by placing a city charter on the ballot in a little-noticed special election that attracted fewer than 400 voters.

Since passage of the measure, salaries for council members — part-time employees — have jumped more than 50%, from $61,992 a year to at least $96,996."

They can only succeed in the darkness of public lethargy.
Wake up and smell the fetid stink of corruption!
