”An inadequate level of services”, said 29 Palms Fire Chief Thomson. When the Lear station closes, 29 Palms may be facing a fire and safety crises. It ought to be a big concern to the city.

The 29 Palms Fire Chief Thomson put it this way. “This community is at a crossroads.” According to the Desert...
Twentynine Palms, CA-- (Editors Note: About the time this was all happening Sean Pulliam and I were just getting airborne from the 29 Palms Airport.

Street vending is, and always has been, a part of the American economy and a fixture of urban life. Thanks to low start-up costs, the trade has offered countless entrepreneurs—particularly immigrants and others with little income or capital—opportunities for self-sufficiency and upward mobility. At the same time, vendors enrich their communities by providing access to a wide variety of often low-cost goods and by helping to keep streets safe and vibrant. With the booming popularity of food trucks selling creative, cutting-edge cuisines, as well as a sagging economy, interest...

Reprinted for Continued Public Interest. Originally Published on Mar 23, 2012 @ 18:04 Twentynine Palms, CA– I don’t get on the soap box very often but now that I’ve had a couple of weeks to digest the Planning Commission’s denial of the Underground Tattoo Parlor in the Stater Brother’s Shopping Center, thought I’d put in my two cents as a former Planning Commissioner. It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of what I consider to be a over saturation of Tattoo Parlors, Massage Parlors, Smoke Shops and Barber shops within 29 Palms. However,...

Much like 29 Palms, the City of Riverbank was razzled-dazzled onto believing that taking out a $15.4 million debt bond to “eliminate blight and spur economic development” was a deal made in heaven. Much like 29 Palms, Riverbank spend $1.7 million to buy a playhouse and renovate the Del Rio Theater for a performing arts center. The theater has been condemned the site shuttered. Much like 29 Palms, they went for the fried ice and sold their soul to the devil. Now the town can’t pay back the yearly...
City violates California Public Records Act (CA PRA) TWENTYNINE PALMS, CA – A funny thing really did happen on the way to City Hall yesterday. I foolishly thought City Hall knew the due process requirements of the California Public Records Act and that they would be in place. Once I arrived at City Hall my expectations were shattered. My request to inspect one public record and obtain a copy of the identifiable public record was flatly refused. City Hall thus prevented public access in violated The Public Records Act...
