LOS ANGELES RESIDENT OPPOSES TAXPAYERS STUCK WITH EXTRA EXPENSES FOR MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE - see Broadway To Vegas column of July 5, 2009

As a resident of Los Angeles who has recently been laid off, and whose husband has had his hours cut, I object to the taxpayers being stuck with extra expenses for the Michael Jackson tribute. Every news outlet, including Broadway To Vegas, has covered his death and tribute. Some outlets are more reasonable than others. If the major television networks think it is so important to their ratings that they gave as much coverage, if not more, to Michael Jackson than they would have to the death of a president, or Princess Diana, then let the major networks foot the bills, not the taxpayers of a state which has serious economic problems.
