Dear Editor- Measure Y Will Save Lives
Dear Editor, I live on a Culver City street where the arrival of emergency vehicles alerted the neighborhood to a sexual assault in broad daylight. Within a couple of minutes walking distance of my home are the sites of an armed robbery, at least one murder, and as I remember, a drive-by shooting. I live on a Culver City street where two pedestrian versus vehicle accidents have occurred [...]

Dear Goran – Point by Point
Mr. Goran Eriksson: In this letter I will address your concerns point by point. Concern #1: Yard signs I was given permission to place signs in front of the property you mentioned by the landlord, who is a supporter of mine.

Dear Editor – Reality ? Really ?
Sometimes I wonder if I'm on a reality show. Seriously, when I read just a few of the recent "news" items in my own Culver City, I fear that the ethical and moral compass in our community is officially pointing south. Have our expectations of appointed or elected leaders dropped so low that the following statements don't inspire head-shaking and anger? • A superintendent is saluted for [...]
Dear Editor – Four Votes, Use ‘Em
Dear Editor, I have read with dismay all of the recent negative campaigning regarding the upcoming 2012 Culver City Council elections. Speaking with one of the candidates on Thursday evening, I related that I believed my neighborhood was a relatively nice one in Culver City; the fly in the ointment however, in my opinion, has been 2 traffic accidents involving school children crossing the [...]
Dear Editor – Long Memory
Malsin wants you to vote for him because of his past “track record” and “institutional memory”. Institutional memory is a collective set of facts, concepts, experiences and know-how held by a group of people. One of his supporters said, “Scott has a passion for our unique city, and for making sure it maintains the "Mayberry" feel while it continues its growth”. I am not voting [...]
Dear Editor – Vote for the Home Team
Dear Editor, I’ve lived in Culver City for almost 30 years and voted in every election. I’m a big fan of politics and I’m also a big sports fan. When the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl, three years after Hurricane Katrina, I was very happy for them and their city! But when I heard recently about how they won, when I heard about the “Bounty Plan” their coaches ran to reward their [...]
