Sacramento Bee: Sacramento City Hall wants you to know that it's not Bell.
As you probably remember, Bell is the Los Angeles-area city where it was discovered that the city manager and other top executives were making hefty salaries. Eight officials, including the city manager, were arrested.
When the news out of Bell broke this summer, cities and counties across California scrambled to show that their public official salaries were in check. On Tuesday, at the request of Mayor Kevin Johnson, the Sacramento City Council was told what City Hall was doing.
"We don't want to just do what other cities are doing," [Mayor Johnson] said. "We want to push the bar a little further when it comes to accessibility and transparency."
