Subject:Angel stadium sale
Good evening,
I am a long time Anaheim resident and a business owner, I have supported mayor Siduh and the city council majority in
every decision taken especially in the Resort district, I have proudly voted for mayor Siduh and my council district Kring. I
appreciate all the hard work and decision made to improve Anaheim as a whole and the resort district.
With all of my support to most Anaheim issues, the Angel stadium sale has honestly been a disappointment, please
consider renegotiating the sale (even though if I was in charge, I would consider leasing not selling) I thought the original
price tag of 325mil was undervalued, only to learn the actual cash is 150mil. When the city needed 2 acres of the land,
the price was changed to 320. Why did we give back 2.5mil an acre when we are getting paid just about a million an
acre? As a business man, I’d rather get the full price tag and we as a city can decide where and how big to build public
parks and or affordable housing instead of having Arte Moreno deciding that for us (I personally do not support building
affordable houses as it does depreciate the City’s value) On another note, when I voted for our mayor and council, I had
complete faith and trust to have the team’s name to be Anaheim as a top priority. I am aware that we lost a law suit
against the team, but at the time there was a loophole where they were able to call it LA, since we are working on a new
agreement, I think the ball is in our hand to make it a must to be called Anaheim Angels or the bare minimum, the
California Angels.
Please consider renegotiating the deal and make us all proud. Because your opponents (who I do not support at all and I
would hate to see them win the next election) are using this deal against you and general public care about sport news
more than anything else.
Thank you for reading and good luck
