The L.A. Times has this breaking news:
At least eight city of Bell officials were arrested Tuesday morning, as L.A. County Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley prepared to announce criminal charges in the municipal salary scandal.
[Updated at 10 a.m.: Former Bell City Manager Robert Rizzo [who was being paid a higher salary than the President of the United States - ed.], whose high salary sparked the outrage that led to the investigations of the city, was among those arrested in the sweep. No details have been released, but a source not authorized to speak publicly about the case said that Rizzo; former Assistant City Manager Angela Spaccia; Mayor Oscar Hernandez; Councilmembers Luis Artiga, Teresa Jacobo and George Mirabal; and former Councilmembers George Cole and Victor Bello were among those arrested.]
