However, who is on the hook for the costs the city and state incurred? I mean the freeways/streets were closed to the public in the AM so the "cortege" could make a 13 mile trip to the Staples Center in 20 minutes. When is the last time anyone in LA went 13 miles in the AM in Downtown LA in 20 minutes? Michael alive has a negative net worth, I believe, but like Elvis his estate will make gadzillions over the years. I saw a website where "fans" were asked to contribute. We are issuing IOU's to people and businesses that have REAL cash issues. The costs shold be billed to the Michael Jackson estate and let any fan who is foolish enough cough up their own money.
