Subject:STOP the Stadium Sale
Hello,
I am Kiabeth Verduzco, a constituent of Anaheim, and I demand that the city council open the meetings, stop the
Stadium giveaway, and lastly an independent appraisal and fair market value sale for our largest asset. It is absolutely
absurd to be practically giving away land that is worth much more to a billionaire, who has already manipulated the
council into allowing him to do the bare minimum for the city, change the name, pay no rent, and have a horrible record
of employee satisfaction. Not only is the price a concern in a time when the city has dipped into its reserve to give visit
Anaheim $6.5 million, but the deal itself is unavailing. The flexibility being given in the affordable housing development
is unacceptable, in the midst of a health crisis affordable housing should be of top priority. To give 15-30 years to build
affordable housing to a billionaire and not have union contracts to guarantee fair wages to the construction workers is
truly inhumane. I can not even begin to list the outrage on social media among my fellow colleagues who have gotten
the following hashtags trending:
#StoptheStadiumGiveaway #NOSubsidiesforBillionaires
Once again, I demand that this stadium deal is stopped immediately as constituents are not only dissatisfied with it, but
concerned over the back room deals occurring as no council meeting has taken place.
Best,
Kiabeth Verduzco
