[Editor’s Note: Two weeks out from the April 12 election for three City Council seats, candidate Scott Wyant has seized the social media initiative to describe what distinguishes him from his six rivals.] 

I am sorry if you missed this (past) week’s Culver City Budget Workplan meetings (three days of study sessions where department heads made presentations to the City Council).

I, alone, of the non-incumbents attended, every session, beginning to end, each night.

Why did I attend all 10 hours?

Because I want to continue to be the only new candidate who is ready to hit the ground running — and because the presentations were fascinating.

I got to hear, again, about all the cool things our city staff and departments are already doing for us.

A project to clean up storm water in partnership with Costco, at no cost to us taxpayers? Check.

“Last mile” transportation from the Metro station to the rest of Culver City? Check.

Affordable housing? A Habitat for Humanity project approved by the Planning Commission on Wednesday.

Environmental Impact Report for the oil fields? A plan to update the General Plan? Check and Check.

You never need to be one of the people who says, “I didn’t know what was going on.”

If you elect me to your City Council, I will continue to work hard to keep you in the loop, and to help you find out where to go for information or help.
