What do the former city officials of Bell consider themselves today? Pigs or hogs?
Those aren't our words. They're the words of Angela Spaccia, the former assistant city administrator, who claimed to be quoting her boss, former City Administrator Robert Rizzo, according to e-mails made public this week that offer the first evidence of just how comfortable and confident Bell's leaders were as they lined their own pockets.
"I am looking forward to seeing you and taking all of Bell's money?!" the incoming police chief, Randy Adams, wrote to Spaccia.
"LOL … well you can take your share of the pie … just like us!!!" Spaccia wrote to Adams about the inflated paycheck he was about to receive. "We will all get fat together."
