Bureau, especially since most tourists think the entire
Valley is Palm Springs.

is working, or otherwise they will not come here; and
' that professionals do not need the strife that is going
on with the controversy.

be a new joint powers authority, with a fresh start; that

community a big step up (over others) , and by taking that

the Council to add a kitchen, and it was granted, the
