Same criminal behavior, different town
Recently reported in the LATimes, a judge questions the criminality of a police chief's nontransparent and superinflated salary, sounding striking familiar to comments posted here about our own loyal public servants.

"Judge questions why Bell's former police chief isn't facing corruption charges"
By Jeff Gottlieb, Los Angeles Times

"From the day authorities handcuffed and led away eight Bell administrators and politicians in a massive public corruption case, people in this small working-class town have wondered why it wasn't the Bell 9 instead.
Missing in the line-up of defendants — from city administrator Robert Rizzo to the pastor who said his lavish paycheck for serving on the City Council was a gift from God — was the town's police chief.
For running the city's 46-person Police Department, Randy Adams made more than the Los Angeles police chief or the Los Angeles County sheriff. His contract, prosecutors said, was drawn up so that citizens would be unable to learn the real size of his paycheck.
Now, the judge who is hearing the case against the Bell 8 is also questioning why Adams is not facing criminal charges along with Rizzo, his chief assistant and six former City Council members accused of draining the city's budget with oversized salaries and benefit packages."

In gretna, they don't even bother to create contracts to show their salary. Linda Bell and Borough Council want you to believe that she makes around 20K. What their lack of contracts hides is that she is really getting much, much more than that. Just look at what she reports as Borough income to the State Municipal Retirement Board. Wouldn't you just like to have the truth presented to you? Why is asking for transparency and truthfulness such a difficult task in MGB?
