Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait and Councilwoman Lorri Galloway say the
public has a right to know who is reaping the benefit from the
$158-million tax break.
William O’Connell argues there should be no concerns about his
campaign donations to Harry Sidhu’s 2010 supervisorial campaign.
Not so, says county watchdog Shirley Grindle.
What was supposed to be a special session of the Anaheim City
Council to reconsider a $158-million tax break instead became an
impromptu, angry town hall meeting.
Mayor Tom Tait called a special meeting of the City Council for
Tuesday with hopes that council members will reconsider a deal to
divert $158 million in room tax subsidies to the developers of two
four-star hotels.
Waiving 80 percent of the city’s room tax could amount to a
$158-million savings for the project.
Council members are set to vote on whether a hotel developer
should get 80 percent of the bed tax revenue that two proposed
high-end hotels would generate.
