Long Beach Fair Lease-Back Debate Draws Voters’ Wake
The Long Beach World’s Fair faced a rejected lease-back center plan after a $25 million offer with safeguards was deemed inadequate. Del Webb promised $400,000 promotion and sought a $10 million construction share plus oversight fees on over $100 million in total. Anaheim and L A schemes mirror the controversy, shifting debt to taxpayers without votes. County Supervisors weigh $35 million for an L A Convention Hall, while critics warn such bonds tax the public and erode voting rights. The piece urges voters to demand approval for major obligations before financing moves proceed.
