Abstract: The scandal in Solano County government the year of 1858 involved the salary of the district attorney: At that time, when high prices were universal and people were bringing down expenses, the people were being informed that the Board of Supervisors put in for a bill to beef up the DA's salary by $500 a year. Prior to this resolution the DA was making $1,000 year. In addition, he could have outside clients as long as it wasn't a criminal case. Interestingly, this resolution on the upgrade in the DA's salary did not appear in the board's minutes.
