Subject:Oppose Anaheim Stadium Sale
Dear City Council Members,
First off I am appalled at the lack of transparency with the people of Anaheim. I, personally just found out
about this 2 weeks ago. Being a resident, I feel some communication should have been sent out, however I
have received NOTHING.
Anaheim Stadium was purchased with bonds and belongs to the residents of the city, not to just the city
council. During this pandemic you appear to be cheating the people you are suppose to represent. Especially
Mayor Harry
now that people can’t come to City Council meetings and voice their opinions. Right now I feel
Sidhu, Councilmembers Stephen Faessel, Jordan Brandman, Trevor O’Neil and Lucille Kring are
selling out the people of Anaheim, I’m sure they are getting something from Arte Moreno for selling
their soul, you appear to be corrupt city council members and should be ashamed.
Also, this is not the time to be making major impacts to the city, when the residents are unaware and
have NO VOICE to combat YOUR decisions.
You fought Measure L, to help those working in Anaheim get a higher minimum wage, how was that
choice helping your constituents? You fought district elections, because you appear to have wanted
those with affiliations to Disney and Arte Moreno, your lost. You don’t want this to go to the people to
vote on as you know you will lose again.
Remember we are the people that vote you into office and we are the same people that can get you
removed. Do you think Mr. Arte Moreno will be helping you, think again, he will have already taken
what he wants away from the residents and won’t care what happens to you.
Are 466 low income housing units worth 350 million dollars? WOW $751,000 per unit, worth way more
than my house. What an elegant gift to those in the low income bracket.
I agree we need low income housing, however at what price to the city. We also need this type of
housing due to the fact that two of the largest employers in the city don’t want to pay over minimum
wage, maybe the council should spend time encouraging employers to raise their minimum pay to
employees so that one day, maybe they can purchase a home in the city and have more positive
involvement in the city.
I am against the sell of the stadium at this time, however you have already entered into a legal sale
without the people of Anaheim’s knowledge.
