SO California is broke.............

[David88vert]

None of you realize that Los Angeles and California are two SEPERATE entities with seperate budgets? California did not spend 1.4 million. Los Angeles paid the cops out of their city budget. The state of California is broke and handing out the IOUs, not LA.

Just a question, how is LA doing to well, but Cali is broke.

I know ATL is struggling but GA is also. The major cities and the states they reside in kinda go hand in hand, correct?

Really? You don't understand how that is possible? Interesting.. especially since you're so vocal in the Politics section.

California should stand as the example of how NOT to run a state.

and yes, i dont uinderstand. how cana state be broke, but its major cities thriving. that is a very legit question. cities and states depend on each other for things. kind of like a young child and parents. when you were 10 yrs old, your economic stance was what ever your parents economic stance was.

I'm the dumbass but you don't comprehend how a state can be strapped for cash but not a city within that state. Your own analogy answers it genius, the children are independent. By your rationale if the United States is in an economic downturn then every state in the country must be struggling, when states like Alaska and Texas are able to pay their residents dividends.. or is the idea of a dividend hard for you to understand too?

Simply stated, the individual cities are sovereign to an extent. Heres a link to a dictionary so you can understand the big words in my post http://www.m-w.com

you need to read that article yourself. the country is in a downturn, so look at all the states. other than the "oil" states. the rest of them are struggling. maybe you are too smart to understand or rationale that money is dependent on other money. maybe your dumb ass need to re-read how the economy works

Yes because you obviously have a grasp on the economy.. I guess Montana, New Mexico, CO, VT, they're all oil states too huh?

They really did need to provide security for the event. Somebody screwed up spending $45 large for lunch, but still the amount they spent on security is a drop in the bucket compared to the damages had they not provided security. They would have spent 1.4 million on just one lawsuit had someone been injured or killed due to lack of security.

why are they in business of providing security to a PRIVATE Funeral?

If MJs estate wanted to have a public viewing they should have been made to hire private security IMO. Or the Staples Center should have had to pay for it.

I mean i understand what you are saying, i just dont see how they can pick up the tab in times like this where the state is collapsing.

Real question:

Did NY pay for Biggies Funeral? What about 2Pacs? Farrah Fawcett?
