EXCERPT:
A longtime Fourth of July parade in Los Angeles has been canceled after organizers said budget cuts from Democrat Mayor Karen Bass’ administration left them facing tens of thousands of dollars in new city fees.
The Sunland/Tujunga/Shadow Hills Rotary Club announced that this year’s Independence Day parade will not move forward after city officials informed organizers they would now be responsible for covering costs previously provided by the city.
“Cuts in the City’s budget from the Mayor’s office meant that city services are no longer provided free of charge for first amendment events such as our parade, and sponsoring organizations need to pay for the City services that ensure a safe event,” the organization said in a statement.
