Robert Zirgulis

Regarding the story I posted on Monday about the retail store refusing to refund $20 for a tee-shirt that a wheelchair-bound special needs student from Culver City High School tried to return: Cooler heads have prevailed.

Now here is a case for the most callous customer service abuse given to a serious physically impaired wheelchair-bound "special needs" Culver City High School student. I have been a substitute teacher, extensively dealing with special needs students in the Culver City School District since 2007. I never have heard of any special needs student being so callously treated by a retail establishment in our city.

Many people were surprised that Scott Zeidman lost his re-election bid last week for the Culver City School Board because he appeared to have a vast majority of endorsements.

Last Tuesday night, out of pure spite and shallowness, the School Board essentially voted against money for our schools from an oil extraction tax.

The first draft of my opening remarks to the Democratic Club for this evening’s forum for School Board candidates (7 o’clock, Rotunda Room, Vets Auditorium):

Re “Abrams Returns to Run for the School Board”

Isn't it ironic?

The City Council has spent well over a million dollars on lawyer fees battling local oil company PXP to finally come up with a settlement regarding the Baldwin Hills oil field.

Re “Mr. ‘Z,’ a Claim Jumper

Anyone can really play with numbers and statistics.
