Don’t Like Invocation? Okay, Try One of These
By George Morton. Since the City Council soon will be considering whether to superficially change the name of City Manager John Nachbar’s non-religious Invocation that opens every meeting, I thought it appropriate to spend far less than one minute and come up with some usable alternatives for Council members to ponder.
‘Yes’ on Measure CC – Only Because We Need It
By Jamie and Bob Wallace. When we moved to Culver City 20 years ago, we did not have kids. We chose Culver City, in part, because of the school system. Please vote Yes on Measure CC, the school bond issue, on the June 3 ballot. Over the last 10 years that our son has been a Culver City student, we have spent a lot of time at ...
Red Light Cameras Save Accidents? Balderdash, Says Zirgulis
By Robert Zirgulis. In response to Alan Corlin's scolding of me, I wish he would get his facts straight. First, you got the quote wrong. I was just conveying and printing what an anonymous source said about the full accounting of the red light money collected during the eight years Mr. Corlin was in office -- estimated at $10 million. Yes, it would be nice to know how ...
Whoa, There: What Accidents Are Red Light Cameras ‘Saving’?

Corlin Scolds Zirgulis for Lack of Evidence
By Alan Corlin. [Editor’s Note: The former City Councilman replies to former candidate Robert Zirgulis.] It is clear, Mr. Zirgulis, you do not have data on many statements you have made. If you did, you would not be trying to deflect my request for you to show us your "empirical data."
They Are Quarreling Again Over Redflex
Editor’s Note: Former City Councilman Alan Corlin and former City Council candidate Robert Zirgulis continue their jousting over Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc., the provider of Culver City’s red light cameras.
Take Closer Look at Awarding of Contract to Redflex
By Robert Zirgulis. It is truly amazing that City Councilman Jeff Cooper and other Councilpersons don't seem to care that they awarded the red light camera contract to Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc., in the midst of scandalous corruption and bribery charges surrounding it. Mr. Cooper writes:
Shame on City Council for Hooking up with Redflex
By Robert Zirgulis. I am truly amazed at our City Council's vote last evening to award a three-year contract to have Redflex, a company with a scandalous bribery reputation, install insidious red light cameras in Culver City. The Council members just lapped up unsupported statistics that red light cameras prevent accidents.
He Is Fed up with Beefs Over Red Light Cameras
By Alan Corlin. I have heard enough. Robert Zirgulis, you state in your latest blog posting that red light cameras "cause more accidents than they prevent." What proof do you have – in Culver City -- that your statement is true? Show us your data. Culver City data. Not from Chicago or some other city, Culver City.
Time to Give a Red Light to Those Vexing Red Light...
By Robert Zirgulis. I can't believe that our City Council is considering renewing a three-year contract for the despicable, scandal- ridden red light camera company, Redflex!
