Not Happy With Existing Path, Agency Wants Their Own Path

The LADWP, the largest city-owned utility in the nation, has proposed building new power line path instead of using existing right-of-ways. It wants to bring power from the Imperial Valley to Los Angeles and other parts of Southern California but does not want to cooperate to use existing power line routes to minimize blight. In pure Orwellian fashion, they call it "Green Path."

The other "Hot Springs" City Has Gangster History Too! 
Now it will do time memorializing Al Capone, Owen "Owney" Madden, Lucky Luciano and other gangsters who took a break from big-city life to enjoy Hot Springs' soothing spas and blind eye to illegal gambling and prostitution.

Traffic stop turns up pair of guns

How about a pro "shall issue CCW (Conceal Carry Weapon) policy" like other CV cities?  
Criminals are often armed and feel so safe and embolden that they randomly shoot at people in the streets while the rest of society is forced to remain unarmed, hiding and cowering. CCW has dramatically changed the picture in cities that have adopted it. It's proven to substantially reduce gun crime in over 40 states.  It works when city representatives have the political will to demand it. They don't have the political will.  So until then, when you are in the line of fire, join the victim mentality. Run. Hide. Dial 911. Duck. Cower in fear and hope you don't get hit.... Police will arrive shortly and take a report. And sometimes they catch the shooters.

Drought / water rationing this year
More Fred Flintstone rock garden landscaping for Desert Hot Spring? Here's a thought; How about reducing the massive endless oceans of green turf from Rancho Mirage to Indio? That way we wont be forced to conserve our aquifer as much so the other cities can  waste it on watering things like grass covered washes 3 times a day.

Bug Board Kingdom News - Updates
Story of keystone cops squander millions upon millions of your tax dollars. Stupid is as stupid does.  We are even more stupid than them if we continue to let them disrespect us. Things are finally changing for the better.

 Homeless Updates
Is this a solution looking for a problem? Do homeless really want to re-locate to a concrete (almost) windowless industrial building located in a sand and wind blown tunnel? If they choose to escape, the bus route will take them directly to DHS. Will DHS end up with the majority of the homeless from the entire Coachella Valley.  Will the more affluent cities reimburse DHS for these additional burdens placed on us?


THEY WILL COME: It's Only A Matter Of Time

LA has come to Banning, next stop DHS. Will we finally be ready and have a updated general plan?  How about annexing the retail land at I 10 & at Hwy 62 to economically benefit from the next wave of retail/industrial coming in the next 1 to 2 years? Or will we stay asleep and give that land to PS like we gave the Jack in the Box area (south of Varner and east of Palm) to Cat City?
