Apparently common sense is absent when it comes to faux-pride. City of Los Angeles does not have the money to spare and yet the heroic L.A. Mayor Tony Villar approved the burning of money that Los Angeles desperately needs for other services.
Los Angeles Police Department had to mobilize any officers they could have to keep watchful eyes on the parade. By the way, they are all on overtime for this parade.
Why should City of Los Angeles pay half of the parade cost? Kobe Bryant should pay for the parade cost. After all, he is the one who desperately wanted this championship. Los Angeles Lakers Organization should pick up 100% of the celebration tab.
Has anyone forgotten last Sunday when numbers of so-called “Lakers fans” disturbing the peace shortly after their team won the NBA championship?
Los Angeles is facing greater issues financially and the Mayor Tony Villar is wasting more money.
