Barbara Renten hath no tears

By Barbara Renton | Yucca Valley | Hi-Desert Star Letter: Not crying to see Chad Mayes leave What a wonderful headline last week about Chad Mayes quitting! I’m so sorry I missed seeing his crocodile tears as he slithered away. I still have the DVD of the meeting where he’s highly disrespectful and rude to his fellow council member, Mayor Pro Tem Lori Herbel. Maybe his actions will encourage Luckino and Hagerman to also step down. Without those three pillaging the town’s funds, maybe Yucca Valley won’t go bankrupt! And...

Intrigue, the political tip of Yucca Valley

Opinion | Commentary| By Reform Required | April 14, 2011 | The answer to your question about Paul Cook donating to Mark Nuaimi’s campaign account is this, on 12/20/06 the Cook for Assembly campaign gave Nuaimi a $3,000 contribution. During this time Nuaimi received campaign contributions from consultants for his campaign. Soon thereafter these same consultants were awarded large no-bid contracts in Colton at the urging and recommendation of Nuaimi. Unfortunately YV has hired a politician for Town Manager. For some reason no one seems to have thoroughly checked...

Why Councilman Luckino should step down

Opinion | Commentary | Saturday, April 9, 2011 | By Branson Hunter You know, being a schmuck with a keyboard and a citizen reporter is like flying by the seat of your pants without lessons. I have made mistakes along the way. And I have learned along the way. It’s true, I’ve made disparaging comments and posted  unflattering articles  about Councilman and former YV  Mayor and Chief Financial Officer of the HDWD, Frank Luckino, concerning his responsibilities and duties as a public servant. I’ve even eschewed him on occasion....
