The blue collar City of Bell, California, a suburb of Los Angeles, took a step today to trim some fat from its budget. You won't believe the numbers!
First, there was the city's Chief Administrative Officer, Robert Rizzo who was pulling down $787,637 a year. Assistant City Manager, Angela Spaccia was "earning" $376,288 annually, and Police Chief Randy Adams copped a cool $457,000!
The trio got their walking papers at last night's City Council meeting. None of the three will receive any severance, however, they will each get a generous pension: Rizzo $650,000 a year, Adams $411,000 and Spaccia $250,000 beginning when she reaches age 55.
Before we blame these people, we should ask ourselves, who authorized these salaries?
