Corruption cases plague southeast L.A. County: Some observers see a merger of small southeast L.A. County communities as a way to combat endemic political corruption.

Bell, now Cudahy? An important local story from the weekend.

On Friday, three city officials in Cudahy were arrested on bribery charges — related to crimes that allegedly occurred this year. The federal investigation is ongoing and includes election fraud and other corruption allegations.

Once again, residents in the area are asking themselves what it is about their communities that makes them fertile ground for graft.

    I am not surprised. And it’s funny that South Gate and Cudahy are neighboring cities.

    Not at all surprised by this. I’m sure Huntington Park is next to get caught.
