Throughout the spring, as they gathered signatures for for the Disney/SOAR initiative and subsequently for the Disney/SOAR referendum, Disney circulators invariably told voters the Anaheim Resort District was "just 5% percent of Anaheim but generated 50% of city revenue" and that development of SunCal's Platinum Pointe would destroy that (in addition to bringing in icky poor people, drugs, prostitution, frogs, locusts and boils, etc). It's a statistic that's been bruited about for months as gospel.
Sarah Tully has a story in today's OC Register about a memo prepared by City of Anaheim Budget Manager Blaze Bruney, which shows the scare statistic isn't true. It isn't even close enough for government work.
You can read Sarah's story here, and you can read the actual report from Bruney here.
