Disney Comes in With Late Spending in Anaheim City Council Races

After sitting out of the Anaheim City Council election campaign season for months, entertainment juggernaut Disney is once again spending money on local political action committees.

It comes on the heels of two corruption probes, where FBI agents and independent investigators allege Disneyland resort interests hold outsized influence over City Hall.

The name of Disney’s usual campaign spending vehicle – the Support Our Anaheim Resort political action committee – appeared in both an FBI affidavit and a scathing 353-page independent corruption page report.

One SOAR board member even told independent investigators that the political action committee was where resort-favored politicians and candidates were “groomed.”

I am furious that we live in a system where this is even possible.
