The Anaheim Investigator has uncovered evidence that Anaheim officials participated in a June 11, 2025 gala sponsored by the Association of California Cities–Orange County, where the City of Anaheim and Disneyland Resort were jointly honored with the group’s most prestigious award for their collaborative work on DisneylandForward, a multi‑billion‑dollar expansion of the theme park. Councilmembers and city staff didn’t just witness the presentation—they actively took part in it. Yet six days later, at the June 17th council meeting, no mention of it appeared in official proceedings.
The omission becomes more striking given the treatment of another award the city received at the same ACC‑OC gala: a staff honor presented to Sandra Lozeau, Deputy Director of Housing and Community Development, for her leadership role in tackling homelessness. Her recognition received prominent agenda placement, a detailed staff report, and enthusiastic public remarks during the June 17th meeting. By elevating Lozeau’s award while burying one tied to DisneylandForward, city leadership has raised questions about why information about the latter was withheld from residents.

The accolade Anaheim kept off the agenda was the Legacy Award—ACC‑OC’s highest‑tier honor–typically reserved for projects this organization characterizes as structurally transformative and politically significant. Far from a routine commendation, this award spotlights initiatives that reshape how cities negotiate development, manage land‑use authority, and influence regional governance. Within their awards hierarchy, it stands as the strongest endorsement of work they believe will have a lasting imprint on public policy, economic growth, or community planning in Orange County.
Photographs confirm that four current councilmembers—Norma Campos‑Kurtz, Ryan Bailus, Carlos Leon, and Kristen Maahs—were present, along with Vanderpool. With the exception of Leon, all referenced the ceremony in their public calendars, though in notably vague and ambiguous terms. Vanderpool, usually meticulous about documenting attendees at events he was at, merely listed “City Staff” and “ACC OC members.” Maahs offered more details, but none disclosed which representative from the entertainment giant stepped up and accepted the award shared with Anaheim.

The Investigator contacted Chief Communications Officer Mike Lyster and each of the four councilmembers who attended the ACC‑OC Leadership Summit on June 11, 2025 to find out the reason the Legacy Award—recognizing Anaheim’s partnership with the Disneyland Resort on DisneylandForward—was omitted from the June 17th council agenda. Our inquiry focused on why Lozeau’s honor received a full presentation and public acknowledgment at the meeting, while the Legacy Award was not mentioned at all, despite its relevance to one of the city’s most significant development efforts.
“We are proud of our city’s work on DisneylandForward, knowing it will bring years of added funding for public safety, libraries, community centers and other services directly benefiting our community,” Lyster told us via email. He added that “while appreciated, not every recognition we receive is mentioned at Council.” In contrast, he said “recognizing Sandra Lozeau was another matter entirely. We welcomed the opportunity to highlight a longtime employee for her incredible work on affordable housing, addressing homelessness and so many other important issues for Anaheim.”
From the ACC-OC 2025 Annual Report.
Only two councilmembers responded to our questions. Maahs said, “I generally keep my council comments focused on District 5 and events taking place there,” adding “there wasn’t any specific reason I didn’t mention the award.” Leon, for his part, expressed thanks “for all of the work Sandy has done” and stated the recognition she received at the gala was well‑deserved, though he couldn’t stay until the end. He noted his main focus on June 17th was addressing “the fear and uncertainty” caused by recent immigration raids and informing residents about the newly launched Anaheim Contigo initiative.
Sharon Quirk-Silva, a state assemblywoman currently serving the 67th District, with Victor Farfan, a Hawaiian Gardens city councilman, in 2023.
By DUANE J. ROBERTS Editor & Publisher
The Anaheim Investigator has learned from campaign finance disclosures that the Hawaiian Gardens Casino in Los Angeles County–a card club that is owned by a Florida-based family which uses the profits it generates to bankroll far-right settler movements in Israel—has made thousands of dollars in contributions to multiple lawmakers here in Orange County, including State Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva.
Moreover, prima facie evidence suggests their motive for spending $221,302 to boost Ada Briceño, a union leader seeking to replace Quirk-Silva in the 67th State Assembly District, may be driven by the presence of an opponent aligned with California State Attorney General Rob Bonta, the latter of whom has aggressively pushed for tougher regulations of their industry, such as tightening dealer rules and limiting blackjack.
The whole brouhaha over the casino’s political loyalties erupted when Mark Pulido, a Cerritos councilman also running for that seat, blasted Briceño in a press release claiming she “is being promoted to voters by a vocal and active Trump donor – one who was named a top‑ten donor to the 2020 presidential campaign,” pointing to records identifying Cherna Moskowitz, the late mother of the current owners, as a key backer.
In response, Briceño told the Los Angeles Times that “anybody who knows my work knows I have fought against Trump and MAGA with every fiber of my being,” saying “I strongly oppose the Moskowitz family’s positions on Trump and their support of the settlements, which displace Palestinians in the West Bank, and I am willing to say that.” She further pledged the $11,800 in cash they gave her would be returned.
Ada Briceño
Though individuals familiar with local politics originally believed the card club was supporting Briceño because of her role in blocking Gaza ceasefire resolutions while chair of the Orange County Democratic Party, evidence for that is slim. Instead, it appears they–along with the California Commerce Club, a friendly rival–are rallying behind her to prevent Pulido from winning. Their likely concern is his close ties with Bonta.

Briceño isn’t the only candidate this gambling operation has backed here in Orange County. Shortly after the boundaries of the 67th State Assembly District were redrawn to include the City of Hawaiian Gardens, they began pouring cash into Quirk-Silva’s re-election bids. Between 2022 and 2024, campaign finance disclosures filed with the California Secretary of State reveal she got $13,774 from them and a top employee.
Another recipient of cash was Avelino Valencia, who represents the 68th State Assembly District.Form 461’s show between 2023 and 2024 they gave the lawmaker from Anaheim about $8500. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he sits on the Committee on Governmental Organization, a body which has jurisdiction over the multi-billion-dollar gaming industry–from the state lottery and horse racing to tribal casinos and card clubs.
Local Republicans also got their fair share. Thousands of dollars have flowed into the coffers of former State Assemblywoman Janet Nguyen, State Assemblywoman Diane Dixon, State Assemblyman Tri Ta, and State Senator Tony Strickland. Despite the Moskowitz family’s inclination to fund that party’s politicians at the federal level, most money they spend in California goes to Democrats because they control the legislature.
Campaign finance data from the California Secretary of State.
Far from limiting itself to local races, the Hawaiian Gardens Casino appears to be pursuing influence across California, targeting contests that determine industry regulations. Form 461s reviewed by The Investigator indicate the card club has given money to at least half of the lawmakers who serve on the Committee on Governmental Organization. Members of that body from Orange County not only include Valencia, but Dixon and Tri Ta.
With respect to statewide offices, they once confined most of their campaign spending on attorney‑general candidates. However, in recent years, their strategy has branched off into other top positions. Public records show they made a $20,000 contribution to Matt Mahan—the first Democrat for governor they have backed since Jerry Brown, the latter of whom was a supporter of their industry, but strictly for economic reasons.
One photo The Investigator obtained of the groundbreaking ceremony Brown attended show him standing in between Cherna Moskowitz,who died in 2024, and David Moskowitz, her son. Directly behind her is Laurie Moskowitz Hirsch, her daughter, and Ron Sarabi, general manager of the card club. On David’s right is Victor Farfan, a city councilman whose runs for public office have been heavily funded by the family.

Among the most notable contributors identified in Form 990s filed with the Internal Revenue Service is the Irving I. Moskowitz Foundation, named after the late father of the current casino owners, who died in Miami Beach in 2016. The Investigator estimates that between 2008 and 2024, the foundation routed nearly $12.7 million in cash to CFI. However, it is one of several non-profits they have given money to that perform a similar role.
The Moskowitz family has a well-documented history of backing causes aligned with Israeli settlers in the occupied territories. Its donations to CFI and other entities have helped finance groups like Regavim, which set the stage for school demolitions and other repressive measures. The end result is a legally structured pipeline linking millions of dollars in American gambling profits to on‑the‑ground ethnic cleansing overseas.

Because Quirk-Silva and Valencia both represent parts of Anaheim, The Investigator reached out to them to inquire how they feel about accepting money from a “Trump donor” whose lucrative gambling operations finance extremist settler movements in Israel. Additionally, we wanted to know if they would return the contributions, as Briceño pledged to do. So far neither has bothered replying to any of the questions we emailed.
However, a card club license renewed in February 2025 by the California Gambling Control Commission confirms this casino is still owned by a Florida‑based family with a history of funneling tens of millions of dollars of its profits into a foundation they use to bankroll extremist settler movements in Israel involved in the displacement of Palestinians.
Although the motivations behind their decision to boost Briceño—a prominent leader of a major hotel and restaurant employees union—remains unclear, individuals familiar with local politics told The Investigator it could stem from her role in helping block several Gaza ceasefire resolutions during her tenure as chair of the Orange County Democratic Party in 2024.
Form 497 filed with the California Secretary of State on May 4th.
On his agenda for Miami is a meeting with Laurie Moskowitz Hirsch, a right-wing philanthropist. She runs the Irving Moskowitz Foundation, which was established by her late parents, Irving and Cherna Moskowitz. Irving Moskowitz was a longtime patron of Jewish settlers in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, purchasing land to prepare it for Jewish residents.
She also sits on the board of the Hebron Fund, which promotes ‘a strong Jewish presence in the holy city of Hebron.’ The organization’s international spokesman is Yishai Fleischer, a Ben-Gvir confidante who serves as his foreign affairs advisor and is joining him on the trip. Ben-Gvir himself is a resident of Kiryat Arba, the Jewish West Bank settlement outside the city.
Along with her parents and their foundation, she was awarded the World Zionist Organization’s Jerusalem Award for Building the Land of Israel in 2022 ‘for decades of work primarily in the eastern neighborhoods of Jerusalem and the towns of Judea and Samaria,’ the biblical term for the West Bank, ‘in securing strategic properties for the Jewish nation,’ and work that ‘literally changed the map of Israel.’

The Investigator made a good faith effort to reach out to Briceño and ask what she thought about the Moskowitz family using casino profits to bankroll the displacement of Palestinians. Moreover, we inquired about how she felt about them giving $2 million to a Trump “super PAC” a few years ago. She so far hasn’t bothered to respond to our questions.
Curt Pringle. president of Curt Pringle & Associates, with Councilwoman Natalie Meeks at OCV!be Unveiled on September 25, 2024.
By DUANE J. ROBERTS Editor & Publisher
The Anaheim Investigator has evidence which suggests that Councilwoman Natalie Meeks might have deliberately withheld information from her public calendar to conceal the fact she met with a registered lobbyist hired by a company that seeks future contracts with the city potentially worth millions of dollars.
The lobbyist in question, Curt Pringle, president of Curt Pringle & Associates, not only has known Meeks since 2007 when she served under him as director of public works while he was mayor, but campaign finance paperwork filed with the city clerk shows both he and his wife contributed several thousand dollars to her city council campaign in 2022.
The omission was discovered by a confidential source who tipped off The Investigatora few days after noticing glaring discrepancies between two December 2024 entries in public calendars posted online by Meeks and Deputy City Manager Ted White, who was also with the councilwoman when she met Pringle.
Meeks’ December 3rd entry about the Glydways meeting.
White’s entry, however, was more detailed. Not only did he state the topic of the meeting but recorded the names and titles of everybody present. According to him there were nine people, including himself, Meeks, and Rudy Emami, the current director of public works. And who was the lobbyist? “Curt Pringle, Curt Pringle & Associates,” he typed.
White’s December 3rd entry about the Glydways meeting.
This is not the first time Meeks has failed to disclose her interactions with Pringle. Several photographs The Investigator obtained of OCV!be Unveiled, a ceremony which took place on September 25, 2024, not only reveal the councilwoman was present, but she can be seen mingling with both Pringle and Matthew Hicks, another registered lobbyist.
One image shows Meeks standing next to Don Wagner, an Orange County supervisor who serves the third district. Pringle can be seen on her right, along with Hicks and Paul Simonds, who was then senior vice president of Curt Pringle & Associates. Directly behind them is a photo collage composed of Anaheim Ducks hockey players.
The Investigator has no evidence that city business was discussed during this encounter. And a thorough review of Meeks public calendar for the month of September shows that she didn’t even bother to report that she attended this ceremony. However, to be completely fair, neither did Mayor Ashleigh Aitken, who was there as well.

Meeks close relationship with Pringle spans across two decades. During her tenure as public works director, which began in 2007, she championed many of the same projects he backed as mayor, including building ARTIC near the Angel Stadium. She, like him, also favored a streetcar system connecting the Anaheim Resort with the Platinum Triangle.
Her loyalty to Pringle was handsomely rewarded in 2022 when he not only endorsed her for city council but, along with his wife Alexis, pumped $4,400 into her campaign. About a month after Meeks emerged victorious in that race, photos The Investigator has in its possession show her hanging out at Curt Pringle & Associates annual holiday bash.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic, plus revelations Sidhu was under investigation by the FBI for corruption, put discussions about these matters on hold. The ball was later picked up by the Anaheim Transportation Network, the quasi-public company that operates a fleet of electric buses which shuttle tourists and workers around the Anaheim Resort.
An email obtained by The Investigator in 2020.
Glydways, the firm that hired Pringle as a lobbyist, is a high-tech company headquartered in San Francisco. Though not a streetcar manufacturer, it is developing small driverless vehicles, one option city officials are now considering in preparation for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, which is expected to draw millions of visitors.
On its website, Glydways claims cities will spend less on infrastructure if they adopt their system. Maybe so. However, it still might be a tough sell if it eventually comes before the city council. Such transit projects require millions of dollars in federal grants. And with Donald Trump in power, its not a sure thing Anaheim will get them.
From Glydways website.
For the record, The Investigator reached out to Meeks for comment. For example, we asked her everything from why she didn’t include Pringle’s name on her December 3rd entry to inquiring if her office initiated the Glydways meeting. We questioned her about what dealings she had with Pringle and Hicks at the OCV!be Unveiled ceremony.
The councilwoman issued the following statement:
The OCVibe event was a celebration for the initial phase of construction. No business was discussed and, under the guidelines in place at the time, it was not a meeting listed on my public calendar.
The December 3 meetings in Northern California were coordinated through city staff at the request of those transportation vendors. They were both educational meetings to learn about the transportation technologies each company is pursuing.
Several questions were emailed to Mike Lyster, chief communications officer for the city, which were also copied to other city officials, including the city ethics officer. Because we were aware of Meeks close ties to Pringle, our primary concern was whether or not she, or her senior policy aide, set up the meeting on his behalf.
In response, Lyster wrote:
The meeting was not initiated by Mayor Pro Tem Meeks or her office. Meeks did not bring the company to our attention.
Anaheim Public Works had been talking with Glydways since early 2023. Extending out of that conversation was an invitation to visit the company’s test track.
Other Council members were also invited for the visit. As an engineer by training, Meeks opted to join the city delegation, which also included city staff.
Glydways is one of several types of transportation technology we look at on an ongoing basis. Others include Swyft Cities,Waymo and Tesla’s autonomous vehicles.
We look at transportation technologies, including Glydways, with an eye toward moving people between the Anaheim Resort and the Platinum Triangle, not necessarily for the 2028 Olympics but with potential benefits for the event.
All of this remains in the exploratory stage with no technology or course of action set at this point.
In a cover letter Kathy Hattaway, a representative of Walt Disney Imagineering, submitted as part of the application process, she wrote it will provide “significant relief” to “affordable housing demand in West Orange County” and “will consist of up to 1,450 multifamily apartments … for individuals and families with incomes in the range of 50% – 100% of the Area Median Income (AMI).”
Though The Investigator doesn’t know if the company will be fronting most of the cash for this venture, a press release they posted on their Disney Parksblog reports that it will be “privately financed.” Moreover, on Disney Connect, another website owned and operated by them, not only do they say it won’t be “government funded,” but that they won’t “benefit financially from this development.”
It’s not clear why The Walt Disney Company has embarked on such an ambitious project in Florida. The Investigator believes their repeated run-ins with Republican Governor Ron DeSantis might have played a role. His appointees to the board of the now dissolved Reedy Creek Improvement District, the quasi-government body the company once controlled, have been critical of the entertainment giant.
In a scathing 72-page report released last year, they alleged this district, formed in 1967, was the “most egregious exhibition of corporate cronyism in modern American history,” noting it always “served Disney’s interests—not the interests of the wider community.” They further added it never demanded that “Disney built or set aside land for affordable housing before expanding resort properties.”

Last September, Noah Biesada and Spencer Custodio, two reporters for the Voice of OC, came very close, albeit indirectly, to exposing the Aitken family’s curious relationship with Carrie Nocella, the director of External Affairs for the Disneyland Resort. In an article entitled, “Will Mickey Mouse Continue to Cast a Big Shadow Over Anaheim’s Election Campaigns?,” they wrote about the controversial Disney executive at length.
But in their story, they included what on the surface looks like a seemingly mundane fact about Nocella: “She currently teaches a class at Chapman University titled ‘Legislative Advocacy & Lobbying,’ according to her LinkedIn page.” Perhaps they felt Nocella’s latest teaching gig was inconsequential, so they never followed up on it. However, that tidbit of information contained a valuable lead: Chapman University.
Between 1997 and 1998, Nocellawas an intern with the Campaign to Re-Elect Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, where she did “campaign strategy, labor outreach and strategy, fundraising, and event planning.” Besides the fact Sanchez was Chapman University alumna, her biggest benefactor was Wylie Aitken, a wealthy tort lawyer, who nurtured her rise to power with money, legal assistance, and political support.
Wylie Aitken and Sanchez in 2010.
After completing her studies at Chapman University, Nocella packed up her bags and headed to Northern California to attend the McGeorge School of Law, which is located on the Sacramento campus of the University of the Pacific. She earned a juris doctor degree from them in 2002 and, upon passing the state bar exam, became an attorney, working at a wide variety of different positions in both the public and private sector.
In 2007, Nocella returned to Orange County and took up a government relations job with the Disneyland Resort. She later worked alongside Matthew Hicks, the son-in-law of Democratic State Assemblyman Tom Daly and his former district director. Hicks would eventually jump ship and be hired by Henry Samueli, a Newport Beach billionaire who owns the Anaheim Ducks. He is currently vice-president of Public Affairs for ocV!BE.
For a two-year period, Nocella was also an adjunct professor at the Chapman University School of Law, teaching a course in legislative advocacy. “The class was amazing,” said Kyndell Gaglio, a former student of hers who is now an attorney. “We had a slew of guest speakers–heavy hitters from the community such as State Senator Lou Correa, Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle and Orange County Supervisor Bill Campbell.”
Nocella and Sanchez in 2015.
No story about this matter is complete without addressing the influence that Wylie Aitken and his wife, Bette, wielded over Chapman University. For more than two decades, not only was this couple among their biggest donors, showering them with hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, but they were a catalyst in bringing about major changes to its law school, helping transform it into a world-class institution.
In a Facebook message that Aitken Aitken & Cohn, his law firm, posted in 2020, they reported he was “a key figure in supporting the founding of Chapman University Fowler School of Law and the Wylie Aitken Trial Courtroom, which is a state-of-the-art national courtroom.” They also added both he and his wife helped establish the Bette and Wylie Aitken Family Protection Clinic and Center for Lawyering and Advocacy Skills.
But Aitken’s involvement with the university wasn’t just limited to philanthropy. In 2004, he became a member of their Board of Trustees; twelve years later, he was made chair. Now at the zenith of his power, the lawyer was now in a position to make critical decisions about things other than management of the school’s finances–such as recommend or approve who gets appointed to other boards and committees.
Michael Penn, who married Ashleigh Aitken in 2002 and began working at her father’s law firm soon thereafter, was already executive vice-chair of the Board of Governors when Nocella joined. Penn, who was appointed to it in 2014, graduated from the Chapman University School of Law with a juris doctor degree in 2004. After serving eight years (of which four were with Nocella), Penn finally became chair in February 2023.
For matter of record, The Investigator did email questions about Nocella tothree key people named in this article: Loretta Sanchez, Wylie Aitken, and Michael Penn. Both Sanchez and Aitken replied within hours of us sending it. But Penn never responded. We got an automatic message which stated he would be out of the office until early January. However, it said he would check messages over the holidays. That was two weeks ago.
When The Investigator asked Sanchez about the internship Nocella did for her campaign in the late 1990s–an experience that the Disney executive boasts about on her page on LinkedIn–and if she had any knowledge of Wylie ever meeting her, the former congresswoman told us that she didn’t remember. “I have no recollection of Carrie as an intern nor do I know how she met Wylie,” she told us.
With respect to Nocella’s appointment to the university’s Board of Governors in 2018, Sanchez stated she wasn’t involved in the nominating process and didn’t know how it worked: “The Governors are a different set of people than the Trustees. I’m not on the Nominating Committee for the Trustees so I really don’t even work on nominating Trustees let alone Governors. I do not know how Governors are selected.”
As to the extent of her relationship with Nocella, Sanchez told us most dealings were through her work as a congresswoman. “I would see Carrie at many community events as she or her staff were pretty active in the community,” she said. “Once in a while I would sit down to a meeting with her. One example was during the Unite HERE strike which I was attempting to help settle. I have not spoken to Carrie for four or five years.”
Nocella’s internship with Sanchez is listed on her LinkedIn page.
The Investigatoralso posed some of the exact same questions to Aitken, pretty much asking him point blank if he had ever met Nocella while she was performing her duties as an intern for the congresswoman’s political campaign. “I do not recall her working in the Sanchez campaign,” he told us. “We had a lot of good campaign volunteers and I may have met her but have no recollection.”
Not only did Aitken deny that he did anything to help get her installed on the Board of Governors, but he downplayed how much power he exercised as chair of the Board of Trustees: “I did not have any involvement in her appointment to the Board of Governors and until that happened I was not aware she was a Chapman grad. The role of the Trustees is mainly ministerial.”
When queried about the extent of his relationship with Nocella,he said as follows:
My relationship is at best distant since my understanding is as being allegedly involved in the ‘cabal’ she was not supportive of my daughter’s candidacy though I was aware of her title and role with Disney. In light of her relationship with Sidhu and Murray etc and other council members I would assume she was not excited that I was selected to be the chief negotiator with the Angels at the request of Tom Tait. As you know I was removed by Sidhu after his election and he named himself as chief negotiator. How did that go?
But whether or not Nocella backed his daughter’s candidacy apparently wasn’t that important to certain members of Aitken’s clan. For example, Penn, his son-in-law, has been longtime “friends” with Nocella on LinkedIn. Almost four years after Harry Sidhu beat his wife in the mayoral race, he “liked” an article written about the Disney executive she herself shared on that social media website in March 2022.
From Penn’s LinkedIn page.
Given that evidence suggests Penn has closer ties to Nocella than Ashleigh, The Investigator is not surprised he didn’t reply to the question we sent him via email. In our third article about this matter, to be published at a later date, we will explore another angle to this story which reveals, among other things, that his dealings with the Disney executive appear to predate her 2018 appointment to the university’s Board of Governors.

Public records that The Anaheim Investigator has carefully reviewed–including a recent petition filed in federal bankruptcy court–show Mayor Harry Sidhu registered his helicopter at the Arizona home of Joseph Manzella, a prominent businessman who previously owned The Catch, a restaurant which at one time was a favorite watering hole and dining spot for members of Anaheim’s resort elite.
From the database of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Earlier this year, on March 26, 2022, Manzella filed a petition seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code with the U.S. Bankruptcy CourtArizona District in Phoenix where he declared under penalty of perjury that his address was, once again, “8024 E. Lone Mountain Rd,” even checkmarking a box which stated: “Over the last 180 days before filing this petition, I lived in this district longer than any other district.”
There is no evidence that Manzella, his wife, nor any of his relatives are complicit in any wrongdoing with respect to this matter, both criminal or otherwise. If anything, this is a story about how relationships between politicians and their friends, which were once kept hidden from public view, have suddenly become laid bare for all to see by the corruption scandal that has engulfed Anaheim.
[UPDATE: Harry Sidhu has stepped down as Anaheim mayor. His resignation will be effective on Tuesday, May 24, 2022.]
