Dear Council Members,
I wanted to voice my disapproval of the Disneyland gate tax and possible OC vibe tax proposed by council member Natalie Rubaclava. It is very
irresponsible and disingenuous of Natalie Rubaclava to propose even more taxes instead of looking at how we can cut wasteful spending in the
budget. For example, the amount of money we spend per police officer is far more than most cities of our size. Why is that? Increasing taxes is
often the most popular option that politicians resort to because balancing the budget often looks worse in the public eye. If she is so concerned
about placing less burden on the backs of Anaheim residents she should make proposals on how to better spend taxpayer money instead of
looking to find more tax money elsewhere. This provides a better solution to our overall budget situation instead of enabling more wasteful
spending in Anaheim. As a city, Anaheim has to be cognizant of which tax dollars are being spent wisely or wastefully. Resorting to more taxes as
the first option is not only harmful but irresponsible.
