      OPINION/COMMENTARY Yucca Valley, Ca.- I am often asked why I do not write any stories to praise our elected officials for the right things they do.  One reader emailed this suggestion, “Maybe they will like you after you write nice things about them.” I wrote back, “First of all, I do not care if they like me or not.  That is their choice.  Sure, it would be nice but I do not wake up in the morning setting out to brown nose our elected officials.  I expect...

Commentary| Opinion The blight shown in the featured photo is a preview of coming attractions for Yucca Valley as a result of a 4-1 vote by the Town Council last Tuesday. A new brand for the Town should be:  “Blight Unlimited.” The aftermath of last Tuesday’s meeting is that there will be no temporary sign enforcements; there shall be no sign restrictions because staff reports there will be no funding; and sign fees were waved by the Council. This will painfully results in more blight for the Town with...

“Yucca Valley is a house of cards waiting to tumble without sound Development Impact Fees in place for its infrastructure.” Star struck Frankie Luckino kisses butt again by mollycoddling developers; Lori Herbel flip flops like a lap-dancing show girl for developers and builders. Chad Mayes placates developers and builders while showing no initiative for the Town’s future.  It was a three-way sellout Tuesday night at the town council meeting.  A win-win for unctuous and anxious developers and builders.

The ever-confused Luckino...

CAMS revving up to sue City; Animal Shelter in peril

– Commentary, opinion and interview with CAMS - Here’s the uptake on the only legal medicinal marijuana dispensary in the Morongo Basin.  I met today with the CAMS Human Resources Manager, Debi Rodriques. Sorry about the photo (that’s not Ms. Rodriques). It’s used to draw attention to the serious cause and effects of the Y.V. City Council to close the doors of the CAMS dispensary. It was a unanimous 5-5 vote for shutdown by a Council of opportunists. Here’s how causation works: Yucca kicks CAMS, CAMS lays off workers,...
