Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has infuriated organizers of one of the city’s most beloved Independence Day traditions by suggesting they move it off July 4 to save money. The remark from the mayor’s office comes as organizers of the Sunland-Tujunga Fourth of July Parade battle a growing list of city fees that threaten the future of the annual celebration after more than 50 years. The California Post first reported in late May that the parade faced cancellation after the city declined to cover $20,000 in traffic-control and street-closure costs for the first time in its more than 50-year history.
