Abuses outlined in California city corruption scandal

The scandal-plagued city of Bell mismanaged more than $50 million in bond money, levied illegal taxes and paid exorbitant salaries to its leaders, according to a state audit released Wednesday.

The audit was made public a day after eight current and former officials of the blue-collar Los Angeles suburb were arrested on charges of misappropriation of public funds and other offenses.
