The Los Angeles city attorney still plans to seek reimbursement of the $3
million the city spent for the Michael Jackson memorial, a spokesman said
Monday, despite an audit concluding the event pumped even more dollars into the
local economy.
The July 7 memorial at Staples Center was a $4 million boon for local hotels,
restaurants and other businesses, according to the report released Friday from
the city's chief legislative analyst and city administrative officer. The City
Council's Public Safety Committee was expected to review the report Monday.
City Attorney Carmen Trutanich is still committed to seeking reimbursement
from Staples owner Anschutz Entertainment Group, or AEG
(I am sorry M.J. died but the tax payers of LA should not be the ones who pay for the memorial. When my dad died it was our family which paid for his service. The ones who put the service on for M.J. or his family should pay for it not the hard working tax payers in LA. Read more on this issue
