A controversial issue in Orange County has been settled after the Anaheim City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to void an agreement to sell Angel Stadium and the surrounding property to Angels owner Arte Moreno and SRB Management LLC.
The decision during Tuesday night's City Council meeting came a day after Harry Sidhu resigned as mayor of Anaheim amid an FBI investigation alleging that he fed insider information to the Angels in the hopes of a substantial campaign donation, as well as cheated on sales taxes for a helicopter he bought.
The stadium site sale was immediately voided because of the council's actions and SRB Management LLC, made up of Moreno and his family, was notified of the sale void. Rep. Lou Correa, D-Santa Ana, said that the city should never sell the stadium property, and added that instead of selling the stadium, the city should move to buy the baseball club.
