Time to Raise Awareness Again on the Natatorium
By Robert Zirgulis. One reason I ran for School Board was to bring attention to the neglected and deplorable conditions of our Culver City School Natatorium swimming pool, shuttered since 1991. Although I lost the election, I succeeded in making Culver City residents aware that it doesn't make sense to spend $10.7 million to demolish "our school pool" and replace it with...
A Funeral Procession: Zirgulis Is Burying a Hatchet or Two
By Robert Zirgulis. After witnessing the swearing-in of the new School Board members last Tuesday, I congratulated them and wished them well. As an opposing candidate, I believe I had cordial and civil relationships with them during the campaign. I was invited to the...
Top Ten (Letterman) Reasons That Silbiger Lost Last Month
By Andrew Castle. Slate politics had nothing to do with the results of the school board election. The results showed that the voting public preferred three candidates, Dr. Steve Levin, Kathy Paspalis and Sue Robins over Karlo Silbiger and his running mates.
Silbiger’s Take on Slate Elections Is Called Wrong
By Alan Elmont. Your current series of articles/interviews with Karlo Silbiger lamenting about “slate” politics in Culver City is so much false propaganda, as everyone active in Culver City’s elections already knows. Since I have reached my tolerance level for BS (being below sea level to start), I am compelled to say there is an...
Sew There Was This Group of Ladies, See
By Frances Talbott-White. Thank you for the coverage of Monday evening's So-in Sew-in at City Hall. I may have "appeared to be the leader of the band," but I was a casual attendee. It's just that I talk so much and get excited about needlework done with recycled materials.

I suggest each Culver City resident or worker fortunate enough to have a list and money, to think about adding a contribution to feed...

By Christopher Armenta. (Today) is a special election, and your vote will make the difference between years of experience or moneyed interests making decisions on your behalf.
Given the Choices in Today’s Election, Both Select Armenta
By Ken Alpern. To all: I hope you had a great Thanksgiving/Chanukah weekend. I realize you may have gotten a few emails forwarded from others on the special election (today) for the state 54th Assembly District seat. Below is yet another endorsement of Chris Armenta from a respected community Leader...
‘Disappointed’ by Armenta, Chardiet Switches to Sebastian
By Laura Chardiet. [Editor’s Note: The School Board member sent this letter to state Assembly candidate Sebastian Ridley-Thomas regarding tomorrow’s special election.] Dear Sebastian, a baseline expectation I have for the politicians I support is that they will stick to the issues and refrain from personal attacks.
Armenta Has Proven Himself with Superior Seasoning
By Mary Lou Cardone. Regarding tomorrow’s election: As I listened to both Christopher Armenta and Sebastian Ridley-Thomas sharing their experiences and promises for the State Assembly seat for the 54th District, I was curious as to how someone as young as Mr. Ridley-Thomas would have the political know-how to meet and handle the challenges of this position?
