Subject:\[EXTERNAL\] Agenda Item #12 (Admission Tax)

Hello Council Members,
I am urging the council to stand up for the residents of Anaheim and vote in favor of agenda item #12 (the
admission/gate tax on the November ballot) tonight at the city council meeting. As you all know, there is a loss
of trust between the people of Anaheim and the council due to corporate money's role in local elections. The
residents of this city no longer feel we can trust the council on this matter because many members of the city
council are funded by the resort district and have repeatedly valued Disney's, Angel's, and the Honda
Center's interests over the people's. For this reason, I think it is important that the council members recognize
the difficult situation the city has been put in and allow the citizens of Anaheim to have some control over their
own city once again.
The council members' votes on this agenda item (the admission tax) will reveal who recognizes the importance
of democracy and who is willing to listen to their residents over their donors.
Thank you for your time,
Stephanie
