Outside of West Virginia news, Fox News just conducted an interview with Los Angeles Councilman Dennis Zine. He says that many plans for the Michael Jackson funeral were made by Jackson's representation, AEG, over the holiday weekend. Since city officials are scrambling catch up and be prepared for tomorrow's event, the city has notified over 2,000 police officers to ensure that the funeral goes smoothly and remains dignified. The estimated total cost to the city of Los Angeles for crowd control: $2.5 million.
L.A. city attorneys are currently negotatiating with AEG about who will pay the bills for the Staples Center funeral. Let's hope the city does not fold on this, and the Jackson family and AEG make the right decision to pay their fair share. California tax payers should not be obligated to cover this bill, especially when the state is issuing IOU promisory notes and remains billions of dollars upside down.
