Bell, CA and the US Congress

"The story of Bell, California has been a national headline in corrupt, bureaucratic and expensive government. All of the gory details are still being discovered and released but yesterday we got a few more tidbits, this time concerning the Bell Community Redevelopment Agency. The audit showed hundreds of thousands of dollars in inappropriate expenditures spent on cell phones, car washes, landscaping, exorbitant salaries and bonuses. All the while, taxpayers were under the illusion that this money was going being used to build houses for low-income residents."
