Dear Editor, As a thirty-five year resident of Culver City, I've seen lots of changes - some good and some bad. But never yet have I witnessed the City losing its moral compass . . . until tonight, June 25, 2018. The City Council convened to discuss and revisit the recent events whereby the four Progressive council members banded together to disallow Goran Eriksson, the one remaining moderate member his rightful turn as vice mayor/mayor and instead handed it over to Meghan Sahli-Wells, queen-bee Progressive and backer of the new members, in...
It's no secret that Laker super star LeBron James keeps his body in great condition. At 35 years old he is one of the best conditioned athletes in the world but James has another secret that keeps him on top of the professional basketball world. It's his mind. His body and mind has put the Lakers in a position to win their 17th championship if the beat the Miami Heat tonight. "It's a chess match," said James last Tuesday after he scored 28 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and dished out nine assist i...

For Tom Brady, winning close games never gets old. For the Los Angeles Chargers, losing close games has become a habit they cannot seem to break. In a game that featured eight touchdown passes combined, the Buccaneers were able to overcome a 17-point second quarter deficit and defeat the Chargers at home in Tampa Bay, 38-31 last Sunday. In a quarterback duel between a 43-year-old six-time super bowl winner and a 22-year-old Charger rookie Justin Herbert, the veteran came out on top. But it was...
By Ron Bassilian, president of Protect Culver City Shortly after midnight on June 25 2019, Councilmembers laid bare their plans to phase in rent control. At that late hour, a number of us gathered outside Council chambers, determined something must be done. That was the genesis of Protect Culver City. What should concern everybody is: nobody had run on this issue. Now, they were now fully obeying the demands of some obscure group nobody had heard of. It followed their infamous inauguration - a...

They believe this marks the first time such an experiment has been tried with this species. While the f...

Despite the reopening of a few private schools, such as a local Montessori preschool, local public schools will not reopen anytime soon. We asked Sarah Wahrenbrock, Assistant to the Superintendent, about a rumor that schools would soon be reopening. “I’m not sure where that rumor came from,” she said. “LA County is still in Tier 1, which means schools cannot reopen, except for small cohorts of high-risk, high-need students to receive assessments and services.” “Once the county moves into Tier 2, the Dept of Public Health and LACOE will let sc...
by Corva Corvax A Logical Opinion Governor Newsom sent AB331, a bill requiring an Ethnic Studies course for California high school graduation, back to the legislature without a signature on September 30, the last possible day for his action on the legislation.

"Last year I expressed concern that the initial...
by Alyssa Erdley On Tuesday, I answered a call that turned out to be a push poll in favor of the Plaza project at 4th and Arizona.

The "questions" in the poll, conducted by Zogby, asked the respondent to consider, one by one, the numerous benefits of the huge development. I was asked to admit the virtue of the union jobs, prioritized for residents, the...
