They were: Alan Elmont, Patricia Siever, Kathy Paspalis, Robert Zirgulis, and Karlo Silbiger. Zirgulis said he is usually "opposed to new taxes, especially during a recession" but he is supporting EE because "the situation in the schools is dire.”[1]
Supporters of Measure EE sponsored a march in Culver City on September 26 to express their enthusiasm for a "yes" vote on Measure EE.[2]
