3:02Now PlayingShould a city manager from one of Los Angeles County's poorest cities earn twice as much as President Obama?
Residents from the working-class town of Bell erupted in outrage after learning that their city pays its officials some of the highest local-government salaries in the nation, including City Manager Robert Rizzo who takes home nearly $800,000 per year.
Rizzo has resigned, as have some of Bell's other top-earning government officials. But on Monday evening frustrated residents gathered at a city council meeting to demand more resignations and an end to what they regard as widespread corruption.
Reason.tv spoke with protesters furious with high taxes, cronyism, and inflated public-sector compensation.
