Anaheim ends tax breaks for Disneyland Resort
Anaheim City Council voted to end tax breaks for Disneyland Resort at the request of Disney.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (KABC) -- Anaheim has ended tax breaks for Disneyland Resort after the City Council voted Tuesday to cancel $267 million in tax incentives at Disney's request.



The tax breaks were in exchange for expanding the two parks and building a new luxury hotel.



Disney said the deal created what it called an adversarial climate with the city.



In November, voters will decide on a measure to require large hospitality businesses that accept tax breaks to pay all workers at least $15 an hour.



Disney is the parent company of ABC7.
