State weighs blocking L B funding for Queen Mary plan
The State Lands Commission and the attorney general warned Long Beach officials that a plan to buy back commercial leases on the Queen Mary could violate state tideland trust rules.

The view follows weeks of scrutiny over funds spent on the Queen Mary and a push to transfer control between city departments.
