State Budget Crisis Won’t Interfere With LA Lakers Championship Parade
Many budget conscious LA residents are wondering who will foot the bill should the LA Lakers beat the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals this year. Fear not, the LA Times is reporting that if the Lakers win, the team will foot the bill for their celebratory parade:
If the Los Angeles Lakers beat back the Boston Celtics and win the NBA Championship, the team has offered to pick up the tab of a city parade, a Lakers spokesman said Friday.
The offer should spare the city from the controversy that erupted last year over the use of public funds to pay for a parade after the Lakers beat the Orlando Magic for the team’s 15th NBA championship. Eventually, private donors stepped in to cover half the city’s $1.8 million in costs for police protection and other services.
