LEGAL OPPOSITION DROPPED BY PLAINTIFFS IN ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTER EXPANSION PROJECT
ANAHEIM, Calif. (February 19, 2015) The two groups opposing the Anaheim Convention Center Expansion bond financing have voluntarily dismissed their legal challenge to that financing and their attempts to block the progress of this needed City project. As a result, the litigation challenging the validity of the bonds has been completely terminated.
Last fall, Orange County Superior Court Judge Sherman ruled against plaintiffs Coalition of Anaheim Taxpayers for Economic Responsibility (CATER) and the Inland Oversight Committee (IOC) in their legal challenge to the bond financing, concluding that the Anaheim Public Financing Authority acted properly in approving the issuance of up to $300 Million in bonds for this project, which benefits the City, the region and the community. Following that decision, one of the challengers, IOC, appealed the trial court ruling. Continue reading

ORANGE COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT RULES IN ANAHEIM’S FAVOR
Approves City of Anaheim’s bond financing for the Anaheim Convention Center
ANAHEIM, Calif. (September 26, 2014) Today, the Orange County Superior Court gave a resounding victory to the City of Anaheim by validating the City’s approved financing of the much-needed expansion of the Anaheim Convention Center. The Court concluded that the Anaheim Public Financing Authority properly acted in approving issuance of up to $300 Million in bonds for this project, which benefits the City, the region and the community.
