Your News: We still have no Supervisor for the Coachella Valley.
My Views: Gov. Brown is really dragging his feet on this one. The election is only 13 months away. I am hearing the Governor wants to appoint a candidate who would be strong for re-election in 2018 and will hold the seat against Palm Desert Councilperson Jan Harnik which will be a challenge. I think Brown would like to appoint Elizabeth Romero as he thinks she will be a better candidate than Manny Perez. Problem is that most local Democrats want Perez. And the wait goes on.
Your News: Some local pols now taking part in the anti-Trump protests in the Valley.
My Views: As long as they are kept away from the microphone it is okay. These protests are much more effective when they are organic and not used by a council member or candidate as a vessel for self-promotion.
Your News: May is local TV sweeps month. That means the local news will try to boost viewership for the setting of ad rates. We will be subjected to sensationalistic promos; we will learn who is there first and who cares for us.
My Views: Most of these reports tend to be embarrassing and it 2017, not 1977. There must be a better way to set ad rates then resort to this nonsense to try and draw viewers: Tonight our 18 part special report on whether breathing air is necessary.
Your News: Cathedral City explores re-districting for council elections. Allegedly one proposal would split the Cove into 2 districts for the benefit of 2 incumbent council members.
My Views: If true and that is a big if, even I would have to tip my hat at the blatant cynicism behind such a move.
Your News: A rumor is making the rounds that Palm Springs is going to install rotaries or traffic circles.
My Views: No, No, a 1000 x no. I grew up with them back east and they are a pain in the rotary. The funniest thing about this was some of the responses on social media. As with everything involving Palm Springs, things quickly got pretentious For some reason, those who had driven in Europe felt the need to praise them all while mentioning their overseas jaunts. Those of us who learned stateside not so much.
Your News: Survived both Coachella and Stagecoach
My Views: The words cool and vibe died for this.
