In Bell,California the avergae income is $40,000, but the mayor makes $800,000! The mayor's assistant makes $350,000 and the sheriff makes $400,000. But, I'm not done yet. The mayor also lives in a million dollar house and has his own horse farm? This is just simply ridiculous. While, his people are struggling to make it through one meal he's pullin gin nearly a million dollars a year! Oh, I almost forgot. The city officials in Bell,California (it may have been a few years ago I guess) signed a document giving the power to determine people's income. Including their own. It's things like this that make us, the people, question the government. It's peole like this that help build that barrier between the government and average citizens. The mayor defends himself by saying that in order for a city to be succesful the city officials (people like him and the sheriff) need to make more money. This is simply an excuse. A bad one at that.
Tell me readers what should be done to these crooks? What should their punishment be? I believe they al have already resigned, but is that really enough? Let me know.
My Apple Tree (Pt3) should be coming out soon.
