It is your civic duty to stop monstrosity's like this project. PLEASE VOTE NO! <br />But I must add how saddened and disillusioned I am at how the discussion has been played out at the Planning <br />Commission meeting and the first City Council meeting on this project. It apparently is acceptable, and maybe <br />even encouraged, for the developer to openly pay people to come in and read prepared scripts, to agree to <br />quid -pro -quo arrangements with union members over promises of future work, to crowd the City Council <br />meeting with people that have no stake in Santa Ana, or the outcome of this vote, and leave the residents of <br />Park Santiago standing outside in the rain and cold. This developer has openly attempted to bribe Park <br />Santiago residents to buy their cooperation. This developer has paid for research and development of biased <br />reports that have been used in the attempt to make this project sound like a good idea. This developer has <br />accused the Park Santiago residents of being racist, when in fact the neighborhood is almost half Hispanic. And <br />this developer is currently being investigated for possibly bribing a member of the Planning Commission, and <br />possibly other elected City officials, for their vote. This developer is exactly the kind of Business that Santa Ana <br />should NOT be involved with. <br />The people voicing their support for this development are doing so because they're being paid to do so or will <br />have jobs waiting if the project goes through. The residents of Park Santiago are voicing their strong <br />disapproval of this project because we live here, have a strong sense of community and know that rezoning is <br />
