U.S. Tells D.C. to Pay Inaugural Expenses
D.C. officials said yesterday that the Bush administration is refusing to reimburse the District for most of the costs associated with next week's inauguration, breaking with precedent and forcing the city to divert $11.9 million from homeland security projects.

Maybe the Democrats should keep their allotted Inauguration tickets instead of giving them to Republicans in order to help maintain national security.
