In Praise of Cooper’s Work as Parks-Recreation Chair
I’m supporting Jeff Cooper for City Council because he possesses two important qualifications: character and experience.
Jeff has a long record of participation in our community and experience in local government. He serves as Chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission.

Readers Urged to Do Own Research and Not...
As the April 8 City Council election gets closer, the nasty backbiting, and sometimes slanderous letters to the editor, begin coming in.
Nitpicking seems to be the order of the day. Jeff Cooper accused of not founding the dog park.
Christopher Armenta accused of stating he is an elected, not a part- time elected official.

Criticism of Armenta for Some Claims He Has Made
The League of Women Voters’ forum last week showed me
the lack of knowledge that most of the City Council candidates have of our city, with the exception of Andy Weissman.
My issue is when our, as he says, “Elected City Clerk, Christopher Armenta,” states as facts two issues that are out and out misstatements (lies).

A New Sense of Civility — Weissman’s Value to City Council
We can think of no one better to help lead our city for the next four years than Andy Weissman.
Not only does Andy have an impeccable track record of service to our community, but he also has the patience and skill to bring divergent opinions together to do what is right for Culver City.

A Visionary Who Is Thoroughly Prepared for Meetings, for Office
I am writing to state that I am proud to support Andy Weissman for City
Council. Andy has consistently shown his dedication to our city, with a
long list of leadership positions in a number of city commissions and
organizations.
I have personally had the pleasure of working with Andy for the past two years on the Planning Commission. Prior to that, he served on the Civil Service Commission, and he also demonstrated critical leadership and consensus-building skills when he chaired the Charter Review Committee. The list goes on and on, dating back many years. He is intelligent and creative, and he is keenly aware of the many challenges facing the city. I know that Culver City residents can count on him to be a thorough, fair and independent voice on the City Council.

Ideas Easy to Find — Cooper Would Carry Them...
Like so very many of you, I wholeheartedly support, and will be voting for, Jeff Cooper for the City Council on April 8. As a newly elected member of the School Board, I recognize the essential difference between empty promises and action. Jeff is a finisher. He never promises unless he can deliver.
Jeff’s accomplishments speak for themselves. Among many other things, Jeff is a co-founder of the Dog Park, the producer of the Culver City Car Show, and the Chairman of the Culver City Parks/Recreation Commission. However, Jeff’s accomplishments tell only a very small part of the story.

Answering a Critic of Cooper’s Accomplishments
Re: Letters, “She Scores Cooper for Bad Judgment and Taking Too Much Credit,” March 24.
Let's set the record straight.
As a former member of the Board of Directors for the Friends of the Culver City Dog Park, I can attest to City Council candidate Jeff Cooper's integral involvement in the development of the city's first off-leash dog park.
Jeff served on the Board for a few years, and he was one of the original community organizers of the Friends.
He also played a critical role as a member of the Parks and Community Services Commission.

A Bundle of Reasons to Oppose Large, Looming Condo Building on...
I have been a homeowner on Lafayette Place in Culver City for nine years. When I moved in, the neighborhood was peaceful and safe.
After four or five years, a city decision caused Lafayette to become a street for drivers to hurtle down in their quest to bypass Duquesne. Obviously, it created a lot more traffic. Next a series of condominiums were erected on Lafayette and Lucerne, adding yet more traffic plus many more cars parked on Lafayette (plus Irving, Van Buren, Braddock and Duquesne).

The Case for Cooper — He Probes and Then He...
I am writing to urge all of my friends and neighbors, and all residents who care about the future of Culver City, to vote for Jeff Cooper for City Council on April 8.
Jeff backs up what he says with action. He has truly gotten a lot done in this city, with over 20 years of community service under his belt. He researches and investigates all sides of issues. He addresses them specifically, not just with empty generalities and easy answers.

Weissman — A Natural and Obvious Choice for Council
During my four years on the City Council, it was rare that we all agreed on anything. So I am impressed that all five of our current Council members have endorsed Andy Weissman for City Council in the April 8 election.
It’s not hard to see why Andy is everyone’s choice.
Andy Weissman comes by public service naturally. His dad Al served for years on the School Board and many other civic projects. Andy has served on most of the commissions in Culver City. He has earned endorsements of everyone from the Sierra Club to the Chamber of Commerce.
