L.A. taxpayers are pissed off about the $48,000 expense toward sandwiches for the Michael Jackson memorial. But that’s not all. What’s even more bologna is the $48,000 in sandwiches fed 3,200 officers patrolling the event. The 3,200 officers were hired to patrol the expected 250,000 fans, but only 1,000 showed. A bill of $1.4 million and a public backlash has fueled a criminal investigation into deli scandal.
The sandwiches were driven in from a deli located out-of-state over 68 miles away from the Staple Center. This discovery caused a major public outrage, especially since the L.A. Subway shops have the 5-dollar foot-long special. I’d be pissed too.
The financially troubled city is now looking to AEG to front the bill. L.A. officials will not comment at this time where they are in the investigation, but foresee the “smooth criminals” involved could be facing some serious criminal and civil charges.
