As previously discussed, Carlsbad CA wants to charge state Sen. Bill Morrow for the costs that city incurred providing security at the illegal immigration forum held there earlier this month.
Now, the SDUT weighs in with "The price of speech", saying that the cities affected should pay for it:
...So, is it fair for the taxpayers of Carlsbad – and Oceanside, San Diego, La Mesa, El Cajon and National City, whose police went to Carlsbad's mutual aid – to bear the expense? Yes, because protecting free speech from a "heckler's veto" can carry a high dollar price, and it's the duty of government, local and otherwise, to pay it.
