I sat at the 'press table' at a recent California Republican Convention covering the event for my TV station, when I started making small talk with the 'reporter' next to me.
As a teacher in Desert Sands Unified School District, I object to the implied idea that teachers are doing this just because of salaries.
Let's talk about the IRS scandal for a moment:
Businesses in the Coachella Valley tend to either come and go quickly, or gain lots of loyal customers and stick around for many years. So I was shocked and saddened to receive an email from Mike at FrickleBurgers announcing that they were going out of business today.
Public service is about doing the right thing. What happens when government agencies charged with protecting the public fail? Someone else has to step in and lead.
It hasn't been a great week for the Obama folks, as the scandal du jour tour has firmly taken hold. Every day it seems another federal agency is exposed as having intimidated, snooped, covered up or gone to Vegas on the taxpayer dime. Zimbabwe is even making fun of us.
Twenty-five years ago, California voters approved — albeit very narrowly — the education community's ballot measure that engraved a complex school-finance structure into the state constitution.
Gov. Jerry Brown is on the right track with his mid-May revisions to the state budget. All he needs to do is get his fellow Democrats in the Legislature to go along.
Monday was horrifically hot — and nobody felt it as deeply as the professional cyclists who blazed through the Coachella Valley during the Amgen Tour of California, the fourth-largest cycling event in the world.
In the May 8 Desert Sun, Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone took issue with the Coachella Valley Association of Government's selection of Ygrene Energy to provide a PACE program to the Coachella Valley.
It's a conundrum: How do you attract more tourists to the Coachella Valley during the slow summer season when it actually costs more to get here?
We live in a voyeuristic society.
A highly contentious issue in Indian Wells was finally put to bed on Thursday.
Everyone knows the cliché attributed to Mark Hanna, who managed the presidential campaign of William McKinley when the Republican outspent Democrat William Jennings Bryan by more than 10 to one in 1896: 'There are two things that are important in politics. The first is money, and I can't remember what the second one is.'
'The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.'
Palms Springs is experiencing a dynamic downtown revitalization with the demolition of the old Fashion Plaza and the completion of a Kimpton brand hotel, three new blocks of retail, restaurants, office space, and new streets by 2015.
For years now we have waited for the Mayor of Cathedral City to move on this project.
In Washington, as in any seat of power, most acts of folly begin with hubris.
As a resident of Cathedral City for 30 years and a 40-year veteran of Cathedral City bureaucracy, I believe a lot of the blame was spread around but the ultimate blame must be on the former city manager, when he told an employee, 'just take care of it.'
In every democratic society, the freedom of the press is sacrosanct — but it often butts heads with other individual rights and constitutional guarantees.
Over the past few weeks, the media have covered a story of Cathedral City Councilman Greg Pettis, who has incurred some $92,000 of expenses over the past five years traveling on business associated with the city itself and a variety of super-regional, state and national governmental associations.
I disagree with Mr. Stone's conclusion that Coachella Valley Association of Governments made a bad choice on solar financing.
Suppose that the Environmental Protection Agency were to admit offhandedly that the fluoridation of water had only modest communist mind-control effects. Or the United Nations were to concede it has been running fleets of black helicopters over American cities, but only in the course of conducting extensive good will tours.
Michael Cohen of the Pacific Institute tore Ben McCall's Valley Voice article to shreds. Cohen called the suggestion of pumping Sea of Cortez water to the Salton Sea, and back out again 'a zombie plan.'
Letters submitted by readers about issues of community interest
Jim Barrett became the general manager and chief engineer of the Coachella Valley Water District in March.
'I want to publicly acknowledge God's role in all of this,' declared a victorious Mark Sanford as he celebrated an unlikely political rebirth Tuesday night with a sermon praising the Supreme Being and the many 'angels' who helped the once-disgraced former governor along the way.
Gov. Jerry Brown is doing the right thing by refusing to reduce the California prison population further despite threats of contempt from federal judges.
Recently, the Democrat majority on the Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee voted along party lines to defeat the Realignment Reinvestment Act.
I want to recognize the action of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors in making a tough decision to address significant environmental and health concerns raised by residents in our community, La Quinta.
