Bell Council Members Return
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-bell-20101102%2C0%2C5180461.story
For the first time since most of them were taken away in handcuffs and jailed in a sweeping public corruption case, some embattled members of the Bell City Council met Monday evening in front of angry, jeering citizens.
Mayor Oscar Hernandez was escorted into the meeting by police, who said he fears for his safety.

The crowds have become a regular occurrence since The Times revealed the oversized salaries of council members and other city officials. Eight current or former city leaders have been charged with misappropriating more than $5.5 million.
"We're here ready to serve the community," Hernandez said when the meeting was convened, 35 minutes late.
