    Default L.A. Mayor says it's rediculous to try to make Michael's family pay for his funeral

    The Mayor who had been out of the country said it was ridiculous to ask the Jackson family and AEG to pay for Michael's funeral and adde that L.A. will pay for it.http://omg.yahoo.com/news/la-mayor-c...event/25168?nc

    Maybe people wouldn't be so hesitant about donating money to help pay if they were at least allowed to watch the memorial on a screen outside...

    I could understand maybe the family giving a donation, if they felt that they wanted to. Since the city was very courteous to them. But they shouldn't have to pay for the entire thing. There shouldn't be any obligations for them.

    And I agree, maybe the fans would feel much more apt to donate if the memorial was geared more towards the fans. I know that it is a memorial and it is personal, and I know that they were given tickets to come inside and watch, but did the Jackson's honestly have 9,000 personal friends that felt they needed to come and grieve for Michael? I'm sure that there were 9,000 fans somewhere who would have loved to be there...

    I'm just saying! Take my two cents with a grain of sand because I may be one of the few people who think this...

    thank you Blackcat. <3
    dear michael, i will love you for always. thank you for your life.
    love, casey marie xoxo

    Janice Hahn is onto something. She is gonna make the point that money was actually made by the city from people coming in and buying goods and staying in hotels, etc to attend the event.
