No Parade For the Lakers?
By Henry Abbott | TrueHoop

If the Lakers win the NBA championship on Sunday, some city officials are speculating about a parade on Figueroa Street on Tuesday.

However, the police and cleanup crews for such an event cost something around a million dollars, and it's not at all clear the city -- which has recently forced employees to take paycuts, and is facing dire shortfalls -- has the cash.

City Councilwoman Jan Perry was on the dais with David Stern a week ago, when the NBA announced the 2011 All-Star Game would be in Los Angeles. Now she's quoted by David Zahniser and Phil Willon in the L.A. Times with the bad news:

"We can't afford to cover the costs," Los Angeles City Councilwoman Jan Perry, whose district includes Staples Center, said this afternoon. "How could we make a decision about people's jobs and then sponsor the parade?"

She suggests the Lakers or the NBA ought to pick up the tab.
