MJ追思会为洛杉矶市带来400万美元收入

badthriller

一份新的洛衫矶市报告表明，在斯台普斯中心举办并引起争议的Michael Jackson公众追思会，给当地商业带来的实际收入高于政府在警力和其他公共服务的支出。
立法分析负责人推断追思会一共花去政府320万美元，其中包括120万的薪水、加班费和其他开销。大部分钱花在了洛衫矶警察部门，他们派出警力严加看管集合在落杉矶市中心参加流行之王葬礼的大批人群。
但报告称，这场葬礼刺激了当地经济，预计可带来400万美元的收入。报告并未明列预测的各个项目，但LA公司的一份调查表明，旅店收入因此增加了120万美元。
帐目显示，出租车与星际旅游收入有少量增加，饭店收入也上涨。
之前有过多次争论，是否城市得为Jackson的追思会承担费用。有评论说，无论是Jackson家族还是洛衫矶市，甚至主办追思会的演唱会承办商AEG Live公司，都该为此付出更多金钱。
今天，洛衫矶市议会的公共安全委员会将复查这笔帐目。

Badthriller:有人说，这场很多人抱怨支出太大的追思会反过来帮助了他们。那些人怎么不去抱怨当年屎奈登骚扰MJ花了几百万美元呢？！难怪最近洛衫矶政府安静了，因为他们也从MJ的死中获利了。

可是，我刚看了美联社的新闻，LA市政府仍然计划继续向斯台普斯中心拥有人AEG追讨政府为MJ追思会葬礼所支付的320万美元费用。虽然说不是向MJ Estate要，但看了心里总是非常的不舒服，他们明明是盈利的。

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Los Angeles city attorney still plans to seek reimbursement of the $3 million the city spent for the Michael Jackson memorial, a spokesman said Monday, despite an audit concluding the event pumped even MORE dollars into the local economy.

The July 7 memorial at Staples Center was a $4 million boon for local hotels, restaurants and other businesses, according to the report released Friday from the city's chief legislative analyst and city administrative officer. The City Council's Public Safety Committee is expected to review the report next week.

City Attorney Carmen Trutanich is still committed to seeking reimbursement from Staples owner Anschutz Entertainment Group, or AEG.

"The bottom line is the city attorney's very committed to recouping the taxpayer's dollars," spokesman John Franklin said. "During these tough economic times right now, that's big money. We're laying off, people are getting furloughed. ... It's still money that we put out for a memorial service for Michael Jackson."

AEG President and Chief Executive Tim Leiweke has accused Trutanich of trying to bully the company into paying.

The audit said the city spent $3.2 million on the event, including $2 million in police overtime. However, it noted that there was no ordinance in place at the time that would require the organizer to reimburse city costs. That measure was only adopted on Oct. 26.

Given the memorial's economic benefits and the lack of an ordinance, "the city may wish to cease pursuing cost reimbursement," the report concluded.

Calls to representatives of AEG before work hours Monday were not immediately returned.

Jackson, 50, died of an overdose of sedatives on June 25. His star-studded memorial service at Staples Center brought in thousands of people to the city. The city had nearly 4,000 police out at the arena, the Jackson family compound in Encino and a cemetery to deal with expected crowds. There were no reported problems.

为洛杉矶市带来400万美元收入，不代表为洛杉矶市政府带来400万美元收入，所以，他们还是吃亏了
