Sarah Palin To Resign As Governor of Alaska

The governor emphasized she has been the target of 15 ethics complaints -- all dismissed -- at a cost of $2 million to the state and some $500,000 to her family. "It has all been pretty insane," she said. "And the people who offer up these silly accusations? It doesn't cost them a dime."

Going Downhill Fast

Closed door negotiations have opened the door to the recently passed Art program being undone and run the risk of your taxes being raised by undoing the recently passed Development Impact Fees.


Will DHS ever get public art?
Now, as compromises begin to surface between the two feuding agencies, some criticism has began to appear, courtesy of Planning Commissioner Gabriel King’s very own “Friends of Desert Hot Springs”.

Sequel:
Operation Falling Sun II

20-Year-Old With $500,000 in the Bank. House raided was in Foxdale Estates. Front door fortified with steel frame and 4x4 beams, made it nearly impossible to bust through. DA said it allowed suspects time to flush drugs. Elaborate multi-camera system let suspects see agents arrive. Captured were several vehicles, including a very nice Ford F150 purchased just days earlier from Palm Springs Motors. $12,000 cash seized. Three arrested, ages 20, 22 and 26. They owned 5 houses that they bought at the top of the market. Operation involved FBI, ICE, DA, DHSPD and IRS. Agents involved in action say crime fighting focus in Desert Hot Springs will push criminals to other cities, outlying areas. DA says he will run them out of Riverside County entirely.

Tax shift may stall roadwork - in next years budget. All paving underway will continue.
