Roggin Report Squeeze Play February 24, 2025

This episode focuses on the mismanagement of animal welfare in Riverside County, where 24,000 animals were euthanized, and local politicians, including Jeff Van Wagenen and Manny Perez, are heavily criticized. A billboard along the 10 Freeway in Palm Springs highlights their failures, calling attention to their mishandling of the situation. With county officials failing to address the problem effectively, citizens are left feeling frustrated and unheard.

The discussion continues with CVUSD's outdated methods for managing construction bids. The district's reluctance to modernize and post bids online left many potential contractors unaware of opportunities. This digital gap raises questions about transparency and accountability, especially considering that public funds are involved. Furthermore, concerns about the allocation of tax dollars by La Quinta residents to CVUSD are raised, as some funds meant for capital improvement projects are being used for general expenses instead.
