A lot of folks, including me, are saying that this is an important election on April 10 for four seats on the City Council. The loss of all of the programs, employees and funding from the Redevelopment Agency have put Culver City in a big financial bind. For me to do my civic duty, I should vote for four candidates. After first eliminating two as the most unqualified, I will vote for Mayor Mehaul O’Leary, Jim Clarke, Andy Weissman and Stephen Murray.
Here is my reasoning:
Scott Malsin is an absolutely amazing con man. It’s just amazing that he has apparently convinced himself that the citizens of Culver City won’t see past his self-serving actions and will vote him back into power. How can he believe, in these economically troubling times, that Culver City taxpayers should subsidize his multi-millionaire lifestyle with tax-free health benefits? It is really sad that he thinks that we are, collectively, that stupid. We can only hope that even the most gullible will see the light.
Megan Sahli-Wells might well be a viable candidate for City Council some day – just not this election. While Ms. Sahli-Wells is heavily involved with the schools and the environment, her responses during the Candidates’ Forums show how deficient she is in civic, budgetary and real world realities.
I think that at this point, she would be an excellent choice for the School Board in the November 2013 election since the current School Board apparently doesn’t think that listening to parents is all that important.
Vote for four candidates, but please don’t make one of them Mr. Malsin or Ms. Sahli-Wells.
