This is not an argument against the stadium owners.
It is an argument of fairness. Being a good corporate neighbor means paying their fair share to repair the roads worn down by millions of visitors… It is simply a responsibility that comes with prospering in our city.

Every event weekend, hundreds of thousands of visitors pour into our city. They fill the stadium, the arena, the parking lots — and they fill the pockets of some of the wealthiest team owners in America. Meanwhile, it's Inglewood residents who live with the traffic, absorb the noise, and pay for the police officers, firefighters, and street crews that make those events possible.
Backed by Inglewood Residents for Stadium Accountability, the Fair Share Admissions Tax Reform asks one simple thing: that the venues profiting most from our city contribute their fair share to keep it running. Protecting city services without raising taxes isn't just good policy — it's a promise to the families who call Inglewood home.

The current admissions tax is capped — no matter how many sold-out concerts, playoff games, and championship events happen here, the City's share stops growing while the venues' profits don't. This measure removes that outdated cap and creates a tiered structure based on venue size, so contribution scales with success.

The future we're voting for
Picture Inglewood ten years from now.
Picture Inglewood ten years from now.
In one version, the stadium lights shine over neighborhoods that got left behind — roads cracked by millions of visitors' cars, a senior center running on fumes, a police force stretched thin covering event days without the revenue to match. The wealth stays inside the venue walls.
In the other version — the one this measure builds — event-day revenue flows back into the blocks that host it.
Streets repaved on schedule. Parks with lights that work and programs that run all summer. Fire and emergency response funded to match a city of global events. Senior services and youth programs that don't shrink every budget cycle. A city where growth is something residents feel, not just something they drive past.
That future doesn't require raising taxes on a single Inglewood family. It only requires that the biggest beneficiaries of our city's rise pay their fair share.

Their initiative. Our loss. Don't let them take what belongs to Inglewood.
The so-called "Billboard Blight" initiative sounds harmless — even helpful. It isn't. Bankrolled by billionaire stadium interests, it would strip the City of Inglewood of its authority to generate advertising revenue on public rights-of-way and City properties. That revenue isn't abstract. It is money that already flows to the things you can see and touch every day: the police officers on our streets, the parks where our kids play, the programs in our schools, and the services our seniors count on.

City advertising revenue is an existing, important funding source — not a proposal, not a promise. Cut it off, and something else gets cut: public safety staffing, park maintenance, street repairs, community programs. There is no version of this initiative where residents don't pay the price.

This initiative isn't a grassroots cleanup effort. It's bankrolled by billionaire stadium interests protecting their own advertising dominance. While demanding the City give up its billboard revenue, the stadium keeps its own massive digital signs. Their screens stay lit. Yours — the ones funding your parks and police — go dark.

Inglewood's authority over advertising on public property is financial leverage — the City's seat at the table with multi-billion-dollar corporations. This measure hands that leverage away for nothing in return. Once surrendered, it doesn't come back.

What's at stake
What's at stake
This vote is about who decides Inglewood's future — its residents, or the corporations that profit from it.
If this initiative passes, the City loses a revenue stream it relies on today, at the exact moment our city's needs are growing. Budgets don't absorb losses quietly; they pass them down. Fewer park hours. Slower street repairs. Thinner public safety coverage. Programs for kids and seniors squeezed year after year.
Voting NO costs residents nothing. It simply keeps Inglewood's resources in Inglewood's hands — where a 4–0 City Council vote and this community intend them to stay.
