Anaheim Council backs strict anti graffiti law for parents and sellers
Anaheim voters approve a sweeping ordinance holding parents financially liable for graffiti created by their children and requiring retailers to secure spray paint and markers. The measure targets public defacement, authorizes penalties up to 500 dollars or six months jail, and aims to curb a surge in graffiti city and region wide. The council also bans smoking in all city buildings including Anaheim Stadium.
