July 7, 200916 yr comment_65992 Not to sounds harsh, but as I've read, the Los Angeles and California taxpayers are footing a serious bill for the Jackson funeral. From my understanding, it sounds like it should be a cost that both the Jackson family and the promotion company, AEG, should be paying. The Staples Center and surround Theater hold about 25,000 people at best, and my understanding is the Jackson family had about half that held for them. it kind of almost sounds like a private ceremony and promotion. I just don't feel it's right in this economy for the taxpayers to be footing the bill when both the Jackson family and AEG have the means to foot this bill and are making money off it. The tickets are free, but the parking and consessions aren't. I have no problem with a nice send-off, but I just don't see how public money should be used to do it. Just curious if anyone feels similar or just the opposite... This is a pretty big issue hee in LA. Report
