Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Hello I am an Anaheim resident and Chapman university student in the school of law. I have lived in OC the last 12 years of my life since I moved out to go to college. It is very clear which parts of OC are funded more appropriately by taxing and which are not. Anaheim can use a lot of improvements. There needs to be huge checks on these corporations and a 2% tax is no where significant enough and is honestly a slap in the face to citizens. With how much Disney makes and the scandal with angels Stradium. Anaheim local govt are honestly disgusting ppl to have let that deal go through. I can't believe this is even a question of whether or not this needs to be put on the ballot. Of course we need to tax corporations and y'all better put a cap on the amount of money these shady billionaire companies can spend lying to voters in ads. Personally, I lived in Irvine for 6 years as I played division 1 soccer at UCI. I never had trouble finding a safe, nice grass field to go play on all around the city. Here in Anaheim a lot of the fields are okay, but not as nice as Irvine, and there's never any goals to play on!! If these things were provided more regularly they would become a part of the community and people will take care of them. That's just one example. Another example is gyms to play basketball, or public gyms!! And I looked in the Anaheim like brochure for summer classes and a lot of the stuff is super corny and clearly planned by and for white people. Anaheim is super diverse so we need to be hiring people from all communtities and creating activities that cater to all interests! But honestly whatever you do please do not give anymore money to police!!! I see police at the motel next to my apartment harassing the residents almost weekly. Policing doesn't reduce crime and doesn't increase safety. Providing safe, affordable housing, health care, education and activities for kids does. So please if this ends up bringing in more funding please fund those things and not the police!!!! Feel free to reach out to me for further comment. Obtener Outlook para iOS 1
