Hello City Council,
My name is Anna Feldman. I urge the Council to restore the core elements of the Campaign Finance
Reform Ordinance, which are as follows:
1. Restore recusal of members from voting on items of financial interest to PACs donors.
2. Restore 6 month recusal period after votes benefiting campaign donors
3. Restore limiting fundraising to year of election
4. Restore public right to seek remedy if ordinance is violated
These are necessary first steps for breaking the control corporate power has over Anaheim's government.
Implementing them would set a precedent for other cities in Orange County to follow. As a citizen of
Anaheim I have little to no faith in your willingness to govern by anything other than corporate decree, so
please prove me wrong by at least passing this basic, barebones ordinance that anyone for a functional
and democratic government would support and the most corrupt and bought out carpetbaggers
imaginable would stymie and try to defang. Considering how this has gone so far, I have very little faith
that you are anything but this.
Sincerely,
Anna Feldman
