Robert Rizzo might be due back pay from the city of Bell after officials reneged on an agreement to provide the longtime city administrator with severance payments and other benefits when he resigned earlier this summer, his attorney claimed Thursday.

Attorney James Spertus said the city is violating state labor laws by not paying Rizzo's salary and should begin new negotiations over his departure.

The accusation threatens to create another potentially costly battle for the struggling city, which is operating with the majority of council members facing criminal charges and trying to deal with millions of dollars in revenue losses from taxes the state has determined were illegally levied.

Shameless. He should run for office as a Republican, he has all the credentials.

1. Every state should have a law that restricts the amount pension and benefits

an elected or appointed official can receive. Cars and membership fees should be prohibited when they retire.

They should not receive anything over 100% of their salary. Probably shouldn't be more than 90%. I would suggest even less.

2. Shame is apparently in short supply in the City of Bell.
