Will Michael Jackson Estate Pay LA Back For Funeral?

Today it was announced that Michael Jackson's Estate signed the largest music distribution contract in history with Sony Music Entertainment.

So, does that mean Los Angeles can expect to get paid back for his funeral from last year?

One L.A. resident, Jose F. Vallejos, filed a petition in court in January asking that the estate pay back $3.3 million to the L.A. City Treasury. Los Angeles is in an unprecedented budget crisis and could use the money.

Will the estate will pay back the money or will they just 'beat it'?

I certainly hope so since California is in so much debt. I don't know why they footed the bill for it in the first place. I can't see as how Jackson merited a free public funeral since they didn't do the same for Ed McMahon or Farrah Fawcett. Those two were as famous as far as I'm concerned, and they were practically ignored.
