[情報] The Lakers parade will go on
Los Angeles Times
The Lakers parade will go on -- for an estimated $2 million
(7:21 AM, June 15, 2009)
A few days ago, people around Los Angeles were wondering who would pay for a
parade celebrating the Lakers' NBA championship, with costs initially expected
to run over $1 million.
The solution? The Lakers will pony up $1 million. And so will the city of Los
Angeles.
Though the 2002 version cost an estimated $1.1 million, it turns out this
year's event -- scheduled for Wednesday afternoon -- will probably be twice as
expensive. The route runs from Staples Center to the Coliseum, which will
charge a significant fee to rent the facility.
A debate has been raging because the city is facing a major budget crisis,
seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts. Employees are facing layoffs
and mandatory furloughs. At the same time, the Lakers are a significant
economic engine that drives a lot of money through the heart of Los Angeles.
So what happens if the Dodgers, with the best record in baseball, want to
stretch their legs this fall?
