    Armen Melkonians, City Council Candidate|Sep 13, 2016

    I can't recall a single project proposed by developer NMS that was not approved by our city staff or our City Council. As of September 7, NMS has already contributed $225,000 to the anti-LUVE developer PAC called "HOME." With this war chest, HOME is showering every voter in Santa Monica with mailers full of lies, attempting to confuse them. Their goal is to trick residents into voting against their own interests by opposing LUVE - Measure LV. In 2012, NMS and Chicago based developer Century West...

    Stan Greene, Observer Staff Writer|Sep 13, 2016

    Does it prove the Power of Love, or the Love of Power? Maybe just the stickiest, strangest, least probable people-who-know-people story of the year. Turns out the Clintons, the Trumps, and the Putins are all related to each other and to Fox News Chairman Rupert Murdoch, by love, marriage and children.
