RE: Public Comment - Anaheim City Council Meeting / August 15, 2023
Dear Anaheim City Council,
Stop attempting to smoke screen Anaheim’s unlawful actions as these actions will also identify you as complicit along
with any/all already identified as part of the list of alleged guilty parties involved in the alleged unlawful finding by the
FBI Corruption Probe, State Attorney General, JL Group Report, and others. Currently, Anaheim corruption runs just as
wide as it does deep. Forming an "Advisory Committee" is only a facade in the attempt to add a positive light on the
current mayor. Establishing an "Advisory Committee" without transparency is not only self-serving, but will also add to
the exasperated levels of mistrust the residents already have for the mayor and council members. Using taxpayer funds
to in any way support the advisory committee without allowing the public to gain access, comment, or information is
less than transparent. ALL of the "Advisory Committee" meetings need to be made public as the city is already
recognized due to its alleged Brown Act violations.
Secondly, I demand, not requesting…I demand that steps are taken to immediately fire and/or placed on leave without
pay ALL employees and/or staff that have already been found to have willfully and maliciously participated and/or acted
unlawfully, unethically, and immorally while performing their duties and responsibilities as employees of the city. The
resident taxpayers do not deserve to be taken advantage of for your personal gain, lied to, or failed to comply with
transparency. Furthermore, actions should be taken to charge ANY past or current Anaheim Police Department
1
employee that willfully participated in the unlawful, unethical, and immoral cover-up / withholding of evidence from
ANY/ALL FBI, JL Group, CA Attorney General, or OC District Attorney investigation(s) regarding Anaheim elected officials,
employees and staff.
I look forward to either recognizing the positive actions of the city that are necessary along with the immediate and
critical efforts needed to fire, dismiss, place of unpaid leave, replace, and/or legally charge ANY/ALL individuals already
identified as city employees NOT acting with the “required” legal and ethical responsibilities they were elected and/or
hired to perform.
These media articles will not go away….this is only the beginning of how AnaCrime, the City of Kindness Corruption. will
be recognized until immediate and necessary steps are taken as demanded above in this public comment/letter.
Listed below are only some of the recent reporting’s…the public deserves to know the truth about Anaheim.

This correspondence will also be posted on social media and shared with others as the public, other elected officials, and
others with enforcement authority should be informed about the truth so in some cases, legal actions can be taken, and
the Anaheim residents, when it’s time to vote during next elections will be better educated to vote for qualified, ethical,
law abiding representatives to represent the city of Anaheim residents with fiduciary and ethical responsibility. This
corruption has been allowed to go on far too long and it needs to stop NOW! If you are guilty/complicit, please resign
immediately for the good of the city of Anaheim and the good of society.

Anaheim resident, District 1
