L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is asking fans of Michael Jackson to kick in and offset the $4 million it will cost the city to cover the city's costs associated with the funeral and memorial.
UPDATE -- All major credit cards accepted. Checks too.
196. OK THE JACKSONS FELT MICHAEL HAS ONLY 16000 FANS . ( PEOPLE ALLOWED IN) SO IF THEY EACH PAY $87.50 EACH, THE BILL IS COVERED. L.A. GOT SOME F***** NERVE ASKING FOR MONEY. FIRST WE ALL BUY THE MUSIC THEY MAKE, PAY TOP DOLLAR TO GO SEE THEM, AND NOW WE CANT FAIRLY PAY OUR RESPECTS WITHOUT GETTING A TICKET???? DAMN AND I THOUGHT CHARLIE FROM WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY HAD IT BAD TRYING TO FIND A GOLDEN TICKET.

198. Neither the State or the City should be paying for any of this. If they do then that gives a good indication of why their broke now. Get your priorities straight people !

199. Why should the fans, AEG or the Jackson family pay for this tribute? The state of California tried to have Michael Jackson put away for years for something he didn't do. They ruined his reputation, cost him some fans and put him into a deep depression. He was forced to leave the states so he could get away from it all. They cost him a fortune so he could a have a dream team to prove his innocence. Michael might be alive today if it weren't for them. If I were wrongfully accused of something I didn't do, and my reputation ruined, I would turn to drugs too. This isn't the doctors fault. The people involved with bringing down a very innocent man should be held accountable for his death. If anything, the state of California owes Mr. Jackson, and should eat the bill.

200. Give me a break. I'm sure that all of the fans going to L.A. have pumped more money into L.A. than the funeral has cost.
Between transportation, food, hotels, etc., I'm sure fans spent a significant amount of money to offset the cost of the memorial.
