Starved for adulation, one of Culver City’s angriest and least serious leftist politicians, not known for his original thinking, posted himself on a social media street corner the other morning. He was celebrating his recent election as president of the leftists’ New Shoestring Tiers Club. Emulating a latter-day Howdy Doody (there is a resemblance), the failed office-seeker asked passersby to … Read More

City Councilperson Meghan Sahli-Wells is about to be granted one of her oldest and fondest wishes: Consolidation of City Council elections – long an April staple — with state and national elections in November.
