Roggin Squeeze Play: Key Highlights from Monday, Jan 25, 2025 Roggin Report

Roggin Squeeze Play: Key Takeaways from Last Night’s Roggin Report

This is Roggin Squeeze Play—the most important parts of last night’s Roggin Report, presented by The Living Desert.

Cell Phone Ban in Schools
A new survey from the Palm Springs Unified School District asks parents how to handle a proposed cell phone ban in schools. Attorney Brian Harnick and FG Creative CEO Stephanie Greene joined Fred Roggin to discuss this divisive issue. Greene supports allowing regulated phone use outside of class time, while Harnick argues for teaching responsible technology use. Both agree that technology is essential and should be embraced rather than banned outright.

Party House Problems in Thousand Palms
Residents in Thousand Palms have been pleading for stricter enforcement on party house regulations for eight years. Riverside County recently announced enforcement operations modeled after efforts in Temecula Wine Country, but many locals are unaware of these actions. Supervisor Chuck Washington and Supervisor V. Manuel Perez pledged to improve transparency and enforcement, especially during nighttime hours when most disturbances occur.

Stolen Mailboxes in Cathedral City
In a bizarre twist, a Cathedral City resident reported not just stolen mail but an entire mailbox. With limited installation crews, the U.S. Postal Service is struggling to replace mailboxes promptly, forcing residents to visit the post office daily.

Fred Roggin reminds viewers to “be good neighbors.” Whether it’s helping someone find a pool service or celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day, small acts of kindness strengthen communities.
