Los Angeles neighborhood Fourth of July parade canceled after Bass budget cuts, organizers claim
A Los Angeles Fourth of July parade has been canceled, with organizers citing city budget cuts from Mayor Karen Bass' office, according to a letter released Thursday.
"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 Sunland/Tujunga/Shadow Hills Rotary Club announced in a Facebook post on Monday.
