Should Los Angeles taxpayers hold the bag for the Lakers' victory parade? Many in L.A. are questioning why the city is committed to spending $1 million on the celebration. L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa says he is looking for donations to cover most of the costs. The police union and others are furious. The Los Angeles Times has the story at http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/06/criticism-heightened-over-taxpayer-funds-being-used-for-lakers-parade.html

I am really proud that the Lakers won, however I feel the money should be allocated to far worthier causes. Our schools are in finacial trouble, the economy in general is bad and Mayor Villaraigosa wants to WASTE a million dollars on a parade. He needs to get real!! The donations could be used for far worthier things than a parade also!!!
