A Disturbing Mailer

     I received a mailer from the Mehaul O'Leary campaign that I found greatly disturbing. Mayor Albert Vera was featured prominently.
     In the text, Mayor Vera stated that he didn't like the numerous three-to-two votes by the City Council, and that the election of Mr. O'Leary would bring about unanimity.
 
     I view those three-to-two votes as a by-product of democracy. It proves to me that different interests are represented in our city government, as they should be. It shows us that there is discussion of issues instead of rubber-stamping.  A system of checks and balances is a thing of the past in our federal government. I mourn the loss, and I do not want to see Culver City move in that direction.
