Public records showed that Bell, CA officials were earning huge annual salaries, with one of almost $800,000. Now they've been arrested.
Dang those public records. See what kind of misery they lead to? The prisons would be less crowded if it weren't for the Public Records Act.
“Og-blog” stands for “open-government blog” and that’s what we do: tell people about open-government issues of interest to regular citizens, media, trade associations, and government agencies.
