The City of Los Angeles, which requested monetary donations from fans of Michael Jackson around the world through a link to their PayPal account on the website of the city has revealed that the total cost of the City with Michael Jackson's death and memorial service is US$1.4 Million.
The City of Angels is already $530 million in debt, and with this development, they now have a larger debt since the PayPal account has only managed to collect US$17,000 to date from Michael Jackson fans around the world.
The Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, says that the low intake was due to server crashes to the website due to a surge in web traffic which caused the PayPal button to be inaccessible to those who want to donate.
I have read quite a few articles on this matter and people aren't in favour of having to cover these costs even if they are Michael Jackson fans, even if they do live in Los Angeles. After all, working residents are already paying their taxes.
