After hours of public comment & discussion, the Anaheim City Council unanimously voted late Tuesday to void a $325M sale of Angel Stadium to team owner Arte Moreno’s company. Dozens spoke vehemently against deal, many calling for campaign finance reform.

An FBI agent investigating the case alleges Sidhu shared privileged information with the Los Angeles Angels during ongoing negotiations to sell the stadium and adjoining property to the baseball team. Sidhu reportedly sought financial support from the Angels for his re-election campaign.The state Attorney General and courts agreed toon the deal for 60 days so the Attorney General can learn more about the FBI’s investigation.

But Angels team owner Arte Moreno’s company says the deal was negotiated in good faith and should move forward, and has given the city a June 14 deadline for approval.Anaheim City Manager James Vanderpool told council members that Moreno’s company SRB management sent him a letter threatening to sue the city for breach of contract if the deal did not move forward.

Several speakers called for the resignation of council members who have been allied with Sidhu and supportive of the Angels deal. Others called for councilman Moreno to be appointed interim mayor because he has long been opposed to the deal.
