Dear Anaheim City Council Members:
The residents of Anaheim urge you to vote YES on Item 12 at the next city council meeting to place the
proposed “Admissions Tax” on the November ballot. There is a crisis of transparency and democracy in the
city, and it has been like that for quite some time due to the role of corporate money in local elections. The
recent news of the ongoing FBI Investigation of our resigned Mayor Sidhu and Chamber of Commerce has
eroded the trust of the community because we believe the majority of you do not have our best interests when
you are voting up in the dais. We know you have advocated in favor of corporate interests, instead of the people
you were elected to represent.
This is why we urge you to allow the residents of Anaheim to decide on the tax by placing it on the
November General Election Ballot. Now more than ever must we practice the values of democracy, because
when our local government is not for the people, us, the residents of Anaheim must raise our voices and have a
say into what is best for Anaheim.
It is imprinted in our constitution the right to address our grievances when we feel our representatives no longer
are voting for the people. You must restore the trust that has been broken with the residents of Anaheim,
and you can start by placing the proposed “Admissions Tax” on the November ballot and allowing
democracy to play its course here in Anaheim. Let the People Decide!
Sincerely,
Tamara Jimenez & Amber Moonier
