$51,000 Price For Sidewalk Space In Peterson Trial

REDWOOD CITY, CA (AP) -- The sidewalk in front of the courthouse where Scott Peterson will face trial has become one of the most expensive pieces of real estate in the San Francisco Bay area.

Television stations seeking a spot outside the San Mateo County courthouse during Peterson's murder trial must pay $51,000, county officials announced Friday.

... In addition, television stations must pay $7,500 for space to park their satellite trucks. Twenty spaces set aside for journalists in a nearby lot cost $200 a month each.

... Altogether, the fees would raise $816,000 for the county, about a third of which has already been spent on preparations for the trial, Alms said.

1. Bwah! Public space, Private Price!
I bet they're wondering, reconsidering, about that "Run Gummint Like Bidness" mantra now...

Bahahhahahahaha!
