The mayor of Bell, California, whose municipal pay records have been subpoenaed by Attorney General Jerry Brown, apologized for what he called the city’s “indefensible administrative salaries.”
Oscar Hernandez, paid almost $100,000 as part-time mayor of the 38,000-population town about 10 miles (16 kilometers) south of Los Angeles, said he’ll serve the remainder of his term, ending in March, without pay, according to a statement today.
