If anyone has been following the news lately, out here in SoCal, the little city of Bell has been highly visible. It seems that the Manager, Council and certain city executives have been paid really, really large salaries. This in a city of about 37,000 with a median income of around 35.000 dollars a year. The city manager, a guy named Rizzo, made over 800K a year. The Chief of Police got about 430K or there about.
Now the special investigator from Attorney General Moonbeam, has been in the mix. It seems that the residents of Bell have been overcharged on property taxes to the tune of 3 Million Dollars. Now the boy from Sacramento, a guy called John Chiang, has said they don't get it back. It must go to schools. An overcharge not being returned to the people whose money it really is. Wow, talk about out of control bureaucrats! The overpayments should go back to the taxpayers since the tax overage was declared illegal. But no. Not with the likes of the governator and moonbeam in charge. And the folks in Bell are going to keep getting screwed regardless of what happens.

California is close to hopeless, now, Chief.
Get used to it. That, or move to Idaho. Property taxes are way lower, and it won't be lonesome in Idaha: all your soon to be neighbors are from California, too.
I was thinking about Texas prior to it's secession from the Union and becoming an independent Republic again.
I am still trying to relate to a California city that has average wage of $35000. Everything we see leads one to believe that homes there are mega bucks owned by megabuck people. I believe all of those city officials have resigned now or is this one of many such ciy governments?. Guess we are more militant here and would have a march on city hall and watch our tax bills very closely
Nah, Chief.
Get with the program. Texas is for losers: too much heat, wind and illegal immigrants.
Go for those baked potatoes, and head for Eagle, Idaho.
Not in the Panhandle! And wind is not a problem. I grew up on the Northern Plains!
