    • 12:58 AM

    Bruce Cowan cringes when he drives along Indio Boulevard over the stormwater channel. He's been underneath the 90-year-old bridge and seen the eroded concrete and graffiti-filled columns.

    Live Debates

      Point Counterpoint Live Debates

      On June 5, California voters will consider Proposition 28, which would change term limits for California legislators. When term limits were imposed in 1990, it allowed lawmakers to serve three two-year terms in the Assembly and two eight-year terms in the state Senate - a total of 14 years. Proposition 28 would allow a lawmaker to serve 12 years in the Assembly or 12 years in the Senate.

      The Desert Sun will host on online debate on the issue from 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 16, here at mydesert.com

      Greg Rodriguez, vice chairman of the Stonewall Democrats, will argue in favor of the initiative. Deborah McGarrey, chairwoman-elect of the board of directors for the Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce, will argue against it.

      Readers can submit questions in advance to james.folmer@thedesertsun.com. You'll also be able to send in comments and questions during the 30-minute livestream. To watch previous debates, go to mydesert.com/debates.
