Subject:RE: Public Comment ( October 6, 2020)
Political corruption means the abuse of political power by the government leaders (Sidhu, O’Neil, Kring,
Brandman, & Faessel) to extract and accumulate for private enrichment, and to use politically corrupt means to
maintain their hold on power. Political corruption takes place at the highest levels of the political system, and
hence it can be differentiated from administrative or bureaucratic corruption. It can also be distinguished from
business and private sector corruption.
This form of political corruption is one in which extracted resources (and “public money”) are used for power
preservation and power extension purposes. This usually takes the form of favouritism and patronage politics. It
includes a favouritist and politically motivated distribution of financial and material inducements, benefits,
advantages, and spoils. All of these examples, and more, can be found in the actions of this dais.
The actions of this political majority (Anaheim City Council) in this dais has been witnessed, documented, and
shared with the public, the media, and the courts.
I have some unexpected good news for the political majority. It’s not too late to undue some of the damage that
might be used against you. It’s not too late to take back some/all of the $6.5 million you gave away to Anaheim
First, it’s not too late to stop negotiations and/or undue any agreements that have “unlawfully” led to the
“unlawful” sale of the Angel Stadium and its property. It’s not too late to resign from the city council and it’s not
too late to act with ethic and fiduciary responsibility on behalf of the residents of Anaheim.
Soon, much of what I have mentioned and proposed will be made public. You still have the opportunity to save
yourself and your political career. OR….if you choose to ignore these proposals, you're on your own and you
could be the victim of your own greed and neglect.
I wish you all well…I wish you all success; however, I DO NOT accept the corrupt means that are being regularly
practiced by this city council. Refusing to allow “live” public comments is NOT the result of covid but is just
another means of using covid as an excuse to conduct the peoples business without the people so that this dais
majority can serve themselves, their campaigns, increase their income, gain unlawful favor with other entities
while the public is silenced by their inability to participate in the decisions, operations, and negotiations of the
city they reside.

Peace be with you….UNLESS, you choose to continue your corruption.
