City of Bell scandal

The City of Bell scandal is a scandal involving misappropriation of public funds in Bell, California over a period of several years in the late 2000s. In July 2010, two ''Los Angeles Times'' reporters, Jeff Gottlieb and Ruben Vives, wrote an investigative journalism article on possible malfeasance in the neighboring city of Maywood, California. In their exposé, they revealed that the city officials of Bell (a small blue collar community) were receiving salaries that were reported as the highest in the nation. Subsequent investigations found atypically high property tax rates, allegations of voter fraud in municipal elections and other irregularities which heightened the ensuing scandal. These and other reports led to widespread criticism and a demand for city officials to resign.
In the end, seven Bell city officials, including the former mayor Oscar Hernandez, four city council members, former city administrator Robert Rizzo and assistant city administrator Angela Spaccia were convicted on graft and corruption charges and given sentences ranging from probation to twelve years in prison.
==The community==
Bell is a small town, covering near Los Angeles, with a population of approximately 38,000. Bell is one of the poorest cities in Los Angeles County, almost one in six residents lives below the poverty line.〔(California's Bell Used as 'Cash Drawer,' State Controller Says After Audit )〕 The per capita income in 2009 was about $24,800. Roughly 90% of residents are Hispanic or Latino; many do not have a high school education. Small businesses, auto shops, markets, carnicerias (butcher shops), and panaderias (bakeries) dominate the streets of the small town.〔 Bell’s unemployment level is 16%. As with other cities in California, all of Bell's local elections are nonpartisan.
