The City should at least include a clause in the transaction that should Moreno decide to sell, the City has the
first right to buy back the property at Moreno's cost, rather than allow him to profit at the City's miscalculations.
The City states that this is the best deal and the only way to get more would be to nix the stadium and the
Angels, But That is NOT True! The City didn't try to "get more"...they simply catered to Arte Moreno. Maybe the
Samuelis/Ducks, or Disney, or a developer would have offered more for the property and then they could lease
the stadium to the Angels. Then the City gets alot more $$$ and the Angels stay and play in Anaheim! But the
City didn't ask for other offers...they didn't even try!
The property is being sold to SRB, not to the Angels, yet the deal includes a "promise" from the Angels to play in
Anaheim for the next 30 years. What if the city sells to SRB, then SRB sells to someone else in 2,5,7 years from
now, then the Angels decide to move to "where ever". What can the city do to force them to stay??
There are a lot more negatives than positives in this deal. The council should put the brakes on voting to approve
this deal until many more terms are properly completed!
