Greed over patriotism - City cancels its fireworks show due to budget cuts, resident pays for fireworks out of her pocket, city bills resident....

$20k to patrol the beaches. Instead of looking at it as 'we're saving $50k out of $70k for the show so we'll pay the $20 and let the city enjoy 4th of July', they want the $20k too. Disgusting.
