The Brief

Anaheim voters are being asked to decide whether to require hotels and large event centers to pay their workers a minimum of $25 an hour. The initiative, Measure A, would also require hotels to implement safety measures and workload limits for room attendants.

Anaheim voters have through Oct. 3 to cast their ballots in the special election.

The measure is sponsored by the hospitality workers union UNITE HERE Local 11, which has successfully lobbied for similar workload and safety measures in several Los Angeles County cities. This is the same union whose hotel workers in L.A. and O.C. have been on strike, on and off, since June as they battle over new contracts.

Measure A faces strong opposition from hotels. Disney alone has poured $1.5 million into the "No" campaign. The majority of the Anaheim City Council also opposes the measure.

The special election comes as the city grapples with how to address the heavy influence of money and business interests in Anaheim politics. An FBI investigation led to former Mayor Harry Sidhu's recent guilty plea on corruption charges related to the attempted sale of Angel Stadium. And a city-commissioned probe found widespread evidence of influence-peddling and pay-to-play politics in the city.

To date, the PAC opposing Measure A, which calls itself "Anaheim Residents Against Cuts to Essential City Services," has spent five times as much to influence voters as the pro-Measure A union PAC, "Committee for a Healthy Anaheim Resort."

Here's a guide to Measure A for Anaheim residents — and for anyone interested in the issues of livable wages, fair working conditions and the influence of money in elections.

Measure A, the MANY details

Besides almost immediately raising the minimum wage for hotel and event workers (employers have 30 days to comply), the measure would:

Wages and retention

• Increase the $25 minimum wage by 3% each year, or the equivalent to any rise in the local Consumer Price Index, whichever is greater. This would start in 2026.
• Require employers to give the entirety of any service charge billed to a guest (essentially a built-in tip) to the worker or workers who did the actual work — excluding supervisors and managers, who would not be entitled to any part of a service charge.  
• If a hotel or event center changes ownership, require the new owner to offer existing employees the chance to stay on for at least 90 days, with some exceptions. 

Safety and workload

• Require hotels to give panic buttons to all room attendants and, for larger hotels, have a security guard on staff to respond to calls for help.
• Limit the square footage that can be assigned to a room attendant for cleaning per work shift. 
• Require hotels and event centers to pay double — at least $50 an hour — for a worker's entire shift if that worker is required to clean more than the square footage limitation. 
• Prohibit hotels from requiring employees to work more than a 10-hour day without their written consent.
• Prohibit hotels from offering incentives for guests to opt out of daily room cleaning.
• Require hotels to maintain detailed records, for three years, about the work done by each room attendant, including each room cleaned and the total square footage cleaned. 

Exemptions

Unionized workplaces are exempt from the rules. But Anaheim spokesperson Mike Lyster said the exemption is essentially moot because, per the ballot language, both employers and employees would have to agree to an exemption. Employees are not likely to agree to a minimum wage that's lower than the one that would be established by Measure A.

The measure allows the city manager to grant a waiver if an employer can demonstrate that the new rules would require them to lay off more than 20% of its workers or sharply reduce their hours in order to avoid bankruptcy.

Wages, in comparison

If voters pass the initiative, the city that's home to Disneyland, Angel Stadium and the popular Anaheim Convention Center would have the state's highest minimum wage ordinance for hospitality workers — by far.

The Los Angeles City Council is also considering a $25 minimum wage for hotel and airport workers. And in Santa Monica, voters will consider a ballot initiative next year that would raise wages for hotel workers there to $30 an hour.

If Measure A passes, the new minimum wage would apply to an estimated 900 room attendants and potentially thousands of other caterers, bellhops, parking attendants and others who power conventions, concerts and sporting events in the city.

According to a city-funded analysis, a new $25 minimum wage would constitute a 35% increase over the current average wages for the city's rank and file hotel workers.

However, unionized housekeepers in Anaheim make between $21 and $23 an hour, according to a spokesperson for UNITE HERE Local 11.

Anaheim hotels whose employees are currently represented by the union are the Anaheim Hilton, Disney Grand Californian Hotel, Disneyland Hotel, Disneyland Paradise Pier Hotel and Sheraton Park Hotel.

Employers would have to begin paying the new wages within 30 days after the election results are certified.

UNITE HERE Local 11's workplace campaign

The safety measures and workload limits for hotel workers are nearly identical to rules passed in recent years in Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Long Beach, Glendale, Irvine and the city of Los Angeles. The L.A. County Board of Supervisors recently voted to consider a similar ordinance.

Earlier this year, Anaheim City Council adopted most of the safety rules for hotel workers, including the panic button requirement. They take effect Jan. 1. Measure A would make the rules binding almost immediately, and prevent them being changed or weakened except by the voters.

According to an external analysis paid for by the city of Anaheim, the proposed workload limitations would restrict room attendants to cleaning about half the space they currently do in some cases, which means hotels might have to hire additional workers to meet their cleaning needs.

UNITE HERE Local 11 co-president Ada Briceño said the workload limits and related wage premiums are intended to discourage employers from over-scheduling room attendants. "The wear and tear on people's bodies when you're doing that work, lifting mattresses that are over 200 pounds, you're getting on your hands and knees every single day, 18, 20 times to scrub toilets and to scrub bathtubs," Briceño said. "We want to make sure people get compensated for the extra work that they have to do."

Arguments for and against Measure A

City officials argue that the new minimum wage would weaken the local economy and damage the city government's finances, potentially forcing it to cut essential city services.

An economic impact analysis commissioned by the city found that the measure could cost Anaheim some $5 million to $6 million in additional labor costs at the Anaheim Convention Center, which the city owns and operates, just in the first year.

(Read the city's economic impact analysis here.)

The analysis estimates that if Measure A passes, the city would go from essentially breaking even on convention center operations this fiscal year to being $8.5 million in the hole.

Councilwoman Natalie Meeks, who represents Anaheim's District 6, called Measure A an "overreach." She said individual employers and their employees, not the city, should determine wages and working conditions. "Bargaining should be done at the bargaining table and not by the voters," Meeks said.

She also said the state, not cities or counties, should set minimum wages.

Even some longtime union supporters are, this time, turning their backs.

"I support the hotel workers," civic activist and former mayoral candidate Cynthia Ward told LAist last month. But she, like Meeks, called Measure A an "overreach."

"The unions need to be out there organizing workers and negotiating with employers based on the strength of their numbers and not the ballot box," Ward said.

On the other side, former Councilmember Jose Moreno, a longtime critic of corporate influence in Anaheim, said he supports Measure A. He called the well-funded campaign against the measure "very misleading" and said the city council had "created a political environment that is now being used against the initiative."

Moreno criticized the council for deciding to hold a special election to consider Measure A — at an estimated cost of $1.5 million — rather than putting it on the November 2024 general election ballot, when more people are likely to vote.

According to the city's website, including Measure A on the 2024 ballot would have been much cheaper — around $200,000.

He also said the council rushed to commission an economic analysis that didn't consider the full potential impacts of the minimum wage hike, including on local tax receipts. Moreno said when working class people make more money, they'll spend it.

"When they spend locally, that creates local jobs … and those jobs create taxes," Moreno said.

The former councilmember said any hit to the city's general fund could be made up by a "gate tax" on tickets to Disneyland and other popular city attractions. The idea has popped up, and been shot down, repeatedly over the years. Last year, the previous city council refused to consider putting a gate tax on the ballot.

The leadership of the Los Angeles Police Commission experienced a significant shakeup Tuesday during a regularly scheduled meeting, when it was announced that Teresa Sánchez-Gordon had stepped down as president of the police oversight body.

Rasha Gerges Shields was appointed the commission’s new president, and Daniel Tabor was appointed vice president soon after the announcement. Sánchez-Gordon was not present at the meeting.

Shields announced that Sánchez-Gordon would be stepping down and added that she would be playing some continued role on the commission, but did not provide further details before the group went into closed session. A spokesperson for the commission said that Sánchez-Gordon would continue to serve as a commissioner.

“Thank you and I look forward to serving all of you in the community in this role,” Shields said after being appointed president.

The announcement came as a surprise to those present at the meeting. There was no indication on the commission’s agenda or other public forum that the president would be stepping down. The commission’s website was updated with the new titles shortly after the votes.

Sánchez-Gordon had been serving on the commission since 2024, and was appointed president in late 2025. She has shared her experience as an immigrant who settled in East L.A. as a child and has expressed concern about widespread federal immigration enforcement in the city, according to reporting by the Los Angeles Times.

Erroll Southers preceded Sánchez-Gordon as president of the commission before stepping down last October.

Shields was appointed to the commission in 2023. She has worked both as a federal prosecutor and as a lawyer in private practice.

Tabor was appointed to the commission in January and formerly served as the mayor of the City of Inglewood.

The Los Angeles Police Commission did not immediately respond to request for comment. This story will be updated if it does.

As Californians rush to file their taxes before the April 15 deadline, the candidates vying to be California’s next governor have laid out competing visions for the future of taxation in the nation’s largest state.

Leading candidates have proposed eliminating income taxes, cutting taxes for businesses, increasing taxes on corporations and raising taxes on commercial properties.

Not on that list: taxing billionaires.

None of the candidates polling in double digits has embraced the tax proposal, sending shockwaves through California politics: a one-time tax on the wealth of billionaires that a health care union is trying to qualify for the November ballot. But while Gov. Gavin Newsom has spent his final year in office arguing that the state has a spending problem, not a revenue problem, the Democrats most likely to succeed him are eyeing ways to bring new money into the state’s coffers.

Democrats Katie Porter and Tom Steyer have proposed new taxes on large corporations — albeit in different forms — to offset federal health care cuts, boost education funding and help fill structural budget deficits projected to reach $35 billion in the coming years. Porter has also aligned with Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco in promising to cut taxes for working families and businesses, though the Republicans’ plans would go much further.

None of the leading candidates has indicated which state programs they would cut to make up for lost tax revenue. But in a year when affordability is the dominant voter concern, taxes are top of mind.

“If you’re gonna talk about affordability — and affordability is the main kind of buzzword of the campaign — well, you gotta start with taxes,” said Tim Anaya of the Sacramento-based Pacific Research Institute, a libertarian, free-market think tank.

A tax code ‘frozen in amber’

California’s tax code has been largely frozen in amber for the past century. When voters limited property tax increases through Proposition 13 in 1978, they made the state more dependent on a progressive income tax that relies disproportionately on the high incomes and capital gains of a relatively small number of residents. As a result, California tax revenues fluctuate wildly based on how tech and other large companies perform in the stock market.

Over the past 40 years, efforts to change California’s tax law have largely nibbled around the edges. No one has proposed a wholesale reform of the system, Anaya said.

The governor’s race is playing out against the backdrop of negotiations to shave billions of dollars off state spending next year to close the state’s growing structural deficit. In budget hearings this spring, finance officials in Newsom’s administration have made clear that the governor is not interested in pursuing any new taxes.

Like his predecessor, Jerry Brown, Newsom has bemoaned the annual swings between surpluses and deficits driven by gyrations in personal income tax and capital gains revenue. But he has done little to either broaden the tax base or bring in new forms of revenue, said Chris Hoene, executive director of the left-leaning California Budget & Policy Center.

“He has not done very much on the tax front,” Hoene said. “He’s been more inclined to actually give away new or expanded tax credits — like he became a big proponent of expanding the film tax credit.”

The top Democratic candidates for governor — Porter and Steyer — are vowing to boost state revenues, primarily by honing in on big business.

Hoene said it’s no surprise that their proposals lean into familiar ideas such as raising taxes on corporate profits or property, rather than the relatively novel approach of taxing overall wealth.

“Some of these newer ideas, like taxing wealth … those are things that need to be cooked a bit longer,” Hoene said. “If I were a gubernatorial candidate, I’d be saying, ‘hey, there’s some low-hanging fruit we should be going after first.’”

There’s also some unlikely overlap. Porter and Hilton both propose eliminating state income tax on earnings less than $100,000, a change that would affect more than 70% of California residents who file tax returns. (Porter’s proposal focuses on families, while Hilton said he would extend the exemption to all filers.)

Hilton also proposed reducing the $800 minimum franchise tax that businesses have to pay, regardless of their profits.

Among the lower-polling candidates, San José Mayor Matt Mahan and Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond — both Democrats — have offered tax plans on opposite ends of the party’s ideological spectrum.

Thurmond supports the one-time 5% tax on the wealth of billionaires, which could raise up to $100 billion for health care and food assistance. Mahan vows to oppose all tax increases until oversight measures are in place.

The other candidates have not released detailed tax proposals.

Here’s what we know about the leading candidate’s tax plans so far:

Tom Steyer

Steyer argued that while the richest Californians should pay more, the state should focus on taxing corporations. He supports a proposal to close the so-called “water’s edge” loophole that allows multinational corporations to shelter their profits in countries with low tax rates to shield their international profits from state taxes. The proposal would require these corporations to pay taxes based on a share of their global income.

It’s an idea that progressives have floated for years but never managed to pass. This year, ahead of the November governor’s race, Sacramento legislators will debate closing the loophole again.

Steyer also floated a special election in 2027 to pass an increase on commercial property taxes, which were capped by Proposition 13.

Steyer and other progressives have long wanted to split off commercial properties from Proposition 13 protections, an idea known as “split roll.” In 2020, state voters rejected a measure to do just that.

“I am proposing closing a corporate real estate tax loophole that’s existed for over 40 years,” Steyer told KQED’s Political Breakdown. “That brings in more money to the state, that is permanent, that is completely fair.”

Steve Hilton

Hilton argued California’s budget problems are due to overspending, noting that the state budget has nearly doubled since 2017. He also said the state’s affordability problem is tied to how expensive it is to do business in California.

Hilton noted that California, the nation’s most populous state, has more people in poverty than any other state, according to federal government statistics.

“Why?” he said on Political Breakdown. “Because of all these combinations of the spending and the policies that are making it so difficult to start and grow businesses. As a result of that, costs go up. As a result of that, we increase welfare payments because people are struggling. That means taxes go higher. That means it becomes even more expensive. And we’ve got to get out of that cycle.”

Hilton said he will make the state more affordable by eliminating state income tax for Californians earning less than $100,000 and imposing a flat 7.5% tax on earnings over $100,000. Currently, the income tax tops out at 12.3% for individuals making more than $722,000 a year.

He opposed any changes to Proposition 13 and wants to eliminate the minimum franchise tax, which is about $800 annually for all businesses.

Hilton believes the tax cuts will grow California’s economy, which could result in more tax revenue.

Katie Porter

Porter framed her tax plan as key to tackling affordability. At its center: eliminating state income taxes for families who make under $100,000.

“The state takes a chunk of many people’s paychecks,” she said on Political Breakdown. “$100,000 allows people to make ends meet, but also to do the things we need them to do: To save for retirement. To be able to get a house, to be able to put a little money away for college.”

Porter said she would pay for that tax cut by changing California’s corporate tax, which is currently a flat 8.84%, no matter how much a company makes. She wants to increase it gradually, with the highest-earning corporations paying up to 9.75%.

“That would generate enough revenue … to deliver on my promise of free college tuition,” Porter said.

Her free college tuition plan would allow Californians to attend two years of community college for free, then transfer to a University of California or California State University campus, where the state would cover their tuition.

Chad Bianco

Bianco’s campaign said his tax priorities are “straightforward”: he wants to cut them and make up for lost revenue with undefined “wasteful spending” cuts.

Bianco proposed eliminating the state income tax entirely, opposing any new taxes and reducing “cost drivers like the gas tax,” according to a campaign spokesperson.

In a recent interview with KVCR, Bianco accused Democratic leaders of “bilking” the state for billions of dollars, pointing toward state contracts with nonprofits. He estimated annual waste and fraud at up to $50 billion — without providing specifics.

“California government is broken,” he said. “Number one, we absolutely have to stop the waste, the fraud, and the abuse going on in our government … So you eliminate all of the fraud, you become oil independent and use that to fund government, and now we don’t have to pay income taxes.”

He also would “provide targeted relief, including reducing or eliminating state taxes on tips.”

But in a debate with Hilton April 4 at the Lincoln Club of Coachella Valley, Bianco suggested that upending the state’s tax system would be more difficult than repealing regulations enacted by previous governors.

“Regulations are easy, we sign all of those away…all of those boards and commissions can be suspended, the regulations can be suspended,” Bianco said. “The taxes are going to be a different story.”

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced its 2026 class of inductees on Monday night, a list of eight performers that includes an R&B legend, a heavy metal band and a drummer-turned-frontman whose music dominated mainstream pop-rock in the 1980s.

In recent years, the Rock Hall has expanded its definition of rock icons to include artists from a wider range of genres and backgrounds. The basic rules for induction have remained the same, though:

Artists become eligible for nomination 25 years after the release of their first commercial recording (in other words, artists whose debuts came out in 2001 are newly eligible this year). There are four different categories of inductees:

• Performers whose music and cultural impact has changed the course of rock and roll. 
• Influential musicians whose innovative styles have propelled cultural change, which this year includes key innovative voices in African and Latin music. 
• A "musical excellence" award designated for writers, producers and session musicians who have played a key role in rock history.
• The Ahmet Ertegun award, honoring industry professionals who are not performers but have made a significant impact on the business of music. 

The official induction ceremony will take place on Nov. 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. It will be streamed on ABC and Disney+ in December.

Performer Category

Phil Collins
Even though he was inducted into the Rock Hall as a member of Genesis in 2010, it was Collins' solo career, especially a string of hits in the 1980s, that helped turn him into one of the most commercially successful artists of that decade. The drummer-turned-singer is widely known for popularizing the "gated snare" recording technique — which cut off the lingering reverb from the drums — and resulted in an explosive sound that became a signature sound of the era. Collins' career spans over five decades and has earned him a long list of accolades, including an Academy Award for best original song in 2000 for "You'll Be In My Heart" from Disney's Tarzan.

Billy Idol
The British rocker Billy Idol enters the Rock Hall on his second nomination. Known for hits like "Dancing with Myself," "Rebel Yell" and "White Wedding," the bleach-blonde singer's punk rock attitude continues to reach fans around the world more than four decades since the release of his debut solo album.

Iron Maiden
Heavy metal fans rejoice! Iron Maiden is finally being inducted into the Rock Hall on its third nomination. Since the 1980s, the band has been redefining heavy rock with anthemic storytelling, full-throttle instrumentation and spooky iconography. Different iterations of the band's mascot, Eddie, have appeared on Iron Maiden's album covers and merch for decades, becoming a key fixture of a particular strain of teen rebellion.

Joy Division/New Order
After three nominations, Joy Division and New Order are entering the Rock Hall under a joint induction, recognizing the link between the groups. Both bands featured guitarist Bernard Sumner, bassist Peter Hook and drummer Stephen Morris, who were forced to reimagine their sound after the death of singer and songwriter Ian Curtis in 1980. Joy Division's moody post-punk sound, which featured the baritone vocals of Curtis, gave way to New Order's more electronic, dance-driven rhythms, which proved massively popular in the 1980s.

Oasis
Today is gonna be the day that Oasis gets into the Rock Hall. (Well, November 14 will be the actual day.) The Britpop group, led by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, has had a resurgence since their highly-anticipated reunion tour last year (which briefly broke Ticketmaster and had fans on both sides of the Atlantic crying their hearts out).

Sade
The English band named for lead vocalist Sade Adu changed the sonic landscape of the 1980s and '90s with its blend of jazz, soul and R&B. The velvety, intimate quality of Sade's music echoes across generations of artists, from Drake to Adele, and has now earned the group Rock Hall inductee status.

Luther Vandross
After starting his career as a background vocalist for stars including David Bowie, Roberta Flack, Stevie Wonder and many more, Luther Vandross became an R&B and soul legend under his own name, thanks to the sheer power of his voice beginning in the 1980s. (He was also a producer for A-listers like Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross.) With over a dozen studio albums, his influence has reached across generations to stars including Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and most recently, Kendrick Lamar, who named one of the biggest hits of 2025 after him. Vandross will be inducted after his first Rock Hall nomination.

Wu-Tang Clan
You can see the Rock Hall's effort to expand the definition of rock icons in past years particularly strongly when it comes to the hip-hop acts it inducts. At least one act from the genre — including the Notorious B.I.G., Missy Elliott, A Tribe Called Quest and Jay-Z — each year since 2020. Considering Wu-Tang Clan's collective and individual output, which spans more than 30 years and expanded the East Coast's mark on the genre with references to vintage kung-fu movies and dark humor, it's no wonder the Rock Hall is finally giving the Staten Island crew its long-deserved flowers.

Early Influence Award

Celia Cruz
The Cuban singer, widely known as The Queen of Salsa, becomes the first primarily Spanish-language artist to be inducted into the Rock Hall. After rising through the ranks of Havana's music scene in the 1950s, Cruz left her home country in exile and eventually landed in New York City, where she became one of the most prominent voices of the legendary salsa label, Fania Records.

Fela Kuti
At the end of the 1960s and into the '70s, the Nigerian singer and political activist helped create the Afrobeat genre by combining West African highlife with elements of jazz and funk. Known for his electrifying, unconventional live performances, the multi-instrumentalist is the Rock Hall's first African pop star.

Queen Latifah
Queen Latifah was only 19 years old when she released her debut album, All Hail the Queen, in 1989. Female empowerment has been at the forefront of her music and image since the beginning of her career. With songs like "Ladies First" and "U.N.I.T.Y.," Queen Latifah changed the landscape of male-dominated rap; alongside her music career, she has found arguably greater success as an actor.

MC Lyte
Another teenage pioneer in the world of hip-hop, the Brooklyn-raised rapper gained popularity with socially-conscious lyricism that tackled issues including street violence and drug addiction.

Gram Parsons
Gram Parsons played with The Byrds and helped spearhead the band's seminal country rock album Sweetheart of the Rodeo, which came out in 1968 — but he was technically considered a "sideman" and not a full member of the band. That's why Parsons was not inducted alongside his bandmates when The Byrds entered the Rock Hall in 1991. Now, the Americana visionary — who recorded a pair of celebrated and influential solo albums that featured duets with Emmylou Harris and also played with the Flying Burrito Brothers and the International Submarine Band — gets his due for melding folk, Southern twang and rock and roll before his death at the age of 26, in 1973.

Musical Excellence Award

Linda Creed
In the 1970s, Linda Creed wrote and produced love songs that would come to define the sound of Philadelphia soul, including the Stylistics' hits "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)" and "You Are Everything," both of which were later covered by Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye. After being diagnosed with cancer at age 26, Creed wrote the song "The Greatest Love of All." Whitney Houston's rendition of the song would go on to top Billboard's Hot 100 chart shortly after Creed's death in 1986.

Arif Mardin
Arif Mardin's producer credits span more than four decades and dozens of legendary collaborations, including with Aretha Franklin, the Bee Gees, John Prine and Norah Jones. Born in Turkey, Mardin started working at Atlantic Records in the early 1960s and eventually became an executive and one of the label's most reliable hitmakers.

Jimmy Miller
Jimmy Miller signed a recording contract as a singer before finding his true calling behind the console, particularly for his work with the Rolling Stones across five albums: Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St. and Goats Head Soup. Known for encouraging and harnessing a group's raw, live energy in recording sessions, the producer left an indelible mark on the sound of rock and roll in the 1960s and '70s.

Rick Rubin
Rick Rubin co-founded Def Jam Recordings while studying film and television at New York University. He went on to turn the label into a powerhouse of 1980s and '90s hip-hop, producing and releasing albums by acts including LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, Run-DMC and Public Enemy. He later founded the label American Recordings and served as co-president of Columbia Records. Since the founding of American Recordings, and particularly in his work with Johnny Cash, Rubin has become known for his skill in musical subtraction — paring down a recording to its essential elements.

Ahmet Ertegun Award

Ed Sullivan
He began his career as a sports journalist, but in 1948, Sullivan became the host of a television program — originally called Toast of the Town and later renamed The Ed Sullivan Show — that was welcomed into millions of people's living rooms every week. Sullivan's show widely introduced Americans to countless musicians, including Elvis Presley, The Jackson 5, The Supremes and, maybe most famously, The Beatles, whose first appearance on his show, in February 1964, was, at the time, one of the most-watched programs in history.
