Plaza Theatre hosting Kathy Griffin in Palm Springs is unacceptable

I am withdrawing any future support from the Plaza Theatre due to management's decision to host the Kathy Griffin residency next year . This booking represents a glaring double standard. In 2017, Griffin posed with a mock, blood-soaked severed head of a sitting U.S. president , crossing the line from satire into graphic, targeted violence. She vocally wished for Donald Trump's death multiple times, including a tweet that he should be given a "syringe with nothing but air inside it." If a comedian depicted graphic violence against a prominent LGBTQ+ icon such as Lady Gaga or Elton John, or the mayor of Palm Springs, or a different political leader, would this institution give them a platform? By hosting her, management appears to signal that graphic political violence and targeted, public death wishes are acceptable if the target belongs to a specific political party. To give her a residency just adds insult to injury, rewarding behavior that would get anyone else permanently blacklisted. As a local resident, I will not subsidize this corporate hypocrisy, which is a shame coming from a musicain who truly loves to support orchestra and symphonies around the world.

Research modeling a major earthquake in SoCal is being updated. Why?

Eighteen years ago on Nov. 13, Southern Californians imagined that a magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck. It was for a drill that’s since evolved into an annual observance to practice preparedness for the ever-looming Big One . The drill was focused on drop, cover and hold on, a mantra that should — ideally — feel ingrained in Californians in the event of a tremor. The decision to focus it on this guidance, as renowned seismologist Lucy Jones told the USA TODAY Network, was in response to an earthquake in Southern California that year. She was in a room full of emergency managers at the time of the tremor. They all went underneath a table. But news reports captured people running out of buildings, the very response officials say not to do. It’s just one factor that informed the major earthquake drill held that November, a drill that came out of the ShakeOut Scenario. It was a project led by Jones that modeled a magnitude-7.8 earthquake on the southern San Andreas Fault, predicted to cause about 1,800 deaths and $213 billion in economic losses. It had been unveiled earlier that year, right around the time of a devastating earthquake in China, Jones said.

Palm Desert Weighs $5.7M Drone and Dispatch Plan for Three Cities

Palm Desert’s City Council is weighing a pair of regional public safety proposals that together carry a price tag of nearly $5.7 million, including a five-year drone contract with Axon Enterprise capped at $4.5 million and a shared real-time information center estimated at $1.2 million.

Incumbent Frank Figueroa takes lead in Coachella mayor's race

Coachella Mayor Frank Figueroa has taken a narrow lead in his race to win a full term, according to the latest election results posted Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 11. Councilmember Denise Delgado, who is one of Figueroa's challengers, had been leading until the updated results released by the Riverside County Registrar of Voters. Delgado was in second place in the latest count, just 67 votes behind Figueroa. Jesus "Kino" Gonzalez was in third, 77 votes behind Delgado. The fourth candidate, Francisco Molina, was in a distant last place, more than 1,000 votes behind Gonzalez. Even if she does not win the mayor's seat, Delgado will remain on the council, where her term runs until 2028. Figueroa, however, will not because his council term ends in December 2026. The registrar said 193,500 vote-by-mail ballots and 11,000 conditional voter registration ballots remained to be counted countywide. It did not release a breakdown by city, but about 1% of the county's registered voters live in Coachella. Although he is the incumbent in the race, Figueroa has served as the city's mayor for less than seven months. The council voted to appoint him earlier this year to replace longtime mayor Steven Hernandez, who resigned in
