The excessive price-tag for the city of LA to host the Jackson memorial is causing no end of trouble for the cash-strapped city.  First it tried to gather donations from the general public, but its donation site crashed under the strain.  Now its going after AEG who reportedly made $50,000 from the deal due to providing bleachers outside the stadium the memorial was held in for the use of the media.  There really needs to be some sort of city ordinance passed that passes the costs of extra city services on to those who benefit.  Otherwise the taxpayers of LA will continue to pay a hefty price for the celebrity culture their city hosts.
