CITY OF BELL, CA

Well, things are not so swell in the City of Bell tonight.

As a matter of fact, this city is beyond its breaking point, and hundreds of angry residents are protesting as I post this.

Today, embattled Mayor Oscar Hernandez has just released the following statement to the media regarding the ongoing "Salary Gate," and his promise not to seek reelection next year.

Here is the official release just posted on the http://www.cityofbell.org/ website.

– Apologizing to City of Bell residents for excessive salaries paid to top city administrators, Mayor Oscar Hernandez announced today that he will serve the City of Bell without pay for the remainder of his term. Additionally, Hernandez said that he will not seek re-election. Hernandez's term expires in March 2011.

Hernandez made the following statement:

"Since my first day as mayor, my priority has been to make Bell a city its residents can be proud to call home.

“To the residents of this great city, I apologize that the Council’s past decisions with regard to the indefensible administrative salaries have failed to meet that test. We know we have hard work ahead of us to restore Bell's trust even as we work to maintain the unparalleled city services that our families depend on.

"As a first step to putting Bell on a new path forward in our governance, I will continue to serve our city without pay through the remainder of my term.

"While I will not be seeking a new term as Mayor, I would not be fulfilling my responsibilities as Mayor without working every day to ensure our essential city functions -- from safe streets and neighborhoods to children and senior services and our food bank -- continue to meet our city's needs.

“We must restore Bell's pride in our City and that requires a full, transparent, and deliberate review of the City's actions. To that end I will dedicate the remainder of my term to spearheading our city's cooperation with the Los Angeles County District Attorney and the California Attorney General’s inquiries.”

I hope that the PEOPLE of BELL issue OFFICIAL RECALL PAPERS TONIGHT against the four corrupt CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TONIGHT.

This is a carnival that NO ONE can TOLERATE.....PERIOD.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
