Sorry, but NO CITY OR TAXPAYERS should be expected to pay for a lavish funeral ESPECIALLY during a time in which the city has no money!!!

The city officials should have made it crystal clear AND collected money up front from who ever made the arrangements for the service that they were not in a position to pay for security or the service or anything else relating to it!

There were plenty of people who attended the service and participated that had money! The family or service planners should have seeked donations from MJ's family and friends--------they should have started with collecting some money from that Al Sharpton since he was the most visible person grandstanding (IMO for self interest) since June 24th! (sorry but that man irks the hell out of me!)

The city need to go after the event planners for payment! It is crazy for the city to ask for donations to help offset the cost! THE PLANNERS OF THE EVENT NEED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT and the city was crazy for okaying everything without payment arrangements (I would have asked for the money up front from the handlers)!

Dumb move by the city, very dumb move!

What does this say about MJ's family and friends (I hate to go there but it is what it is)--------they plan/participate in a lavish "going home" ceremony for a man that all the participants say they loved and respected yet they stick the city with the damn bill for the service THEY CHOSE to have for him? That's just messed up!

Lavish funeral for a pedophile - where are the same organized protests that CEOs who recieved compensation for doing their jobs had to deal with.
