In light of Bell residents' recent outrage over the city's salaries, Downey's city council voted yesterday to sever ties with their city attorney Ed Lee and the firm Best, Best & Kreiger. The firm has represented Bell since the early 1990s, and the city of Downey seeks to distance themselves from any relationship to the corruption-riddled city. On Wednesday, city councilman and former Downey mayor Mario Guerra told The Downey Patriot: "To be put in the same breath is an embarrassment to our City staff, City Council and more importantly, to our citizens... We are a great, conservative and ethical city and any association with them and us is wrong and I resent it."
Separately, Guerra expressed his outrage about the Bell salary scandal to the Huffington Post: "It's obscene to get $100,000 for serving in the city council. It's obscene to get $700,000 or more as a city manager. I make $697.35 for serving in the city council." But he quipped, "I do get a really cool parking spot."
