RE: SUPPORT – Agenda Item 25 – Calling October 3 Special Election.
Dear Mayor Aitken, Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava, and Members of the City Council:
The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce supports Agenda Item 25 to call an October 3
special election to allow Anaheim voters to decide upon the ballot measure that will
have a catastrophic effect on Anaheim’s economy and Anaheim’s small businesses.
We thank the Council for enabling voters to move swiftly to resolve the fate of this
damaging measure, rather than waiting another year and a half.
Holding a special election on this measure will allow voters to focus on the effects of this
measure upon Anaheim. The economic impact analyses conducted by independent
experts commissioned by the City Council have found this measure will cost Anaheim
taxpayers $13 million each year.
The Registrar of Voters will mail a ballot to every single Anaheim registered voter,
including those Anaheim residents who are military deployed on active duty and those
Anaheim residents temporarily living abroad, so any Anaheim voter can cast a ballot on
this devastating measure.
For all these reasons, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce supports Agenda Item 25 to
call a special election for Tuesday, October 3, 2023. We thank the Council for
approving this agenda item.
Sincerely,
Laura Cunningham
President and CEO
