OC Register Supports Disneyland Tax Proposal

In an editorial, the OC Register supported a proposal that would prevent a tax on the Disneyland Resort tickets in exchange for Disney’s continued investment in Anaheim:

Tuesday, the Anaheim City Council will consider a major agreement with Orange County’s largest employer, Disneyland, that will have economic and cultural impacts on the city and county, likely for generations to come…

“Anaheim’s City Council should support this proposal. It’s good for the local economy and renews a commitment from Anaheim that low taxation improves the business climate and economic vitality of the community.

“Also it sends an important message that any targeted tax against Disneyland – or any other business – be it a gate tax or any other, would be unfair.”

In separate letters to the editor, Disneyland Resort President Michael Colglazier who supports the proposal and Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait who is against it, shared their opinions.

The Anaheim City Council will be meeting on Tuesday to vote on the proposal. The public is invited to attend and share their opinion of the proposal.
