What, The Rose Parade Isn't Essential Enough For You?
-
Torrance, CA said last year that they wouldn't spend tax dollars on a Rose Parade float anymore, but since locals wanted to do a float, they'd let a nonprofit do it and the city would cover any budget shortfall. The bill came due, and taxpayers will be covering a $17,500 funding gap. Question: Should taxpayers pay for parade floats? For parades, period? In this economy, can anyone afford frivolity? Can they ever? (Daily Breeze, Torrance)
