The Anaheim City Council showed unanimous support this week to build a controversial veterans cemetery in Anaheim Hills after years of contentious debate and political inaction.
For about a decade, veterans fought to have the cemetery constructed in Irvine, but local politicians couldn’t agree on where it should be placed.
The proposal to build the cemetery in the Gypsum Canyon area on county land in Anaheim Hills has gathered support from a host of politicians, including Orange County supervisors Don Wagner, Katrina Foley and Andrew Do; Dist. Atty. Todd Spitzer and Rep. Lou Correa, among other supporters.

Anaheim is the latest city in Orange County to deny a mandate to require hero pay for grocery and pharmacy workers.
The council’s decision on Tuesday to not increase grocery workers’ pay by $3 an hour for 60 days came as no surprise. Last week, four of the council’s seven members said they were not in favor of the wage increase while having an initial discussion of the proposal.
Councilman Jose Moreno brought the item forward with the support of council members Avelino Valencia and Jordan Brandman.
