City Slashes Govt Salaries After Citizens Protest Bloated Payrolls!

Under pressure from outraged residents and facing a probe by the California attorney general, the beleaguered City Council of this small blue-collar city voted Monday to slash its salaries by 90 percent. City council members who make nearly $100,000 a year for governing this small, poverty-plagued suburb of Los Angeles must resign immediately or they could face a recall campaign from a community group.
