• Fourth District Scores Big in RivCo Budget (ukenreport.com) — Riverside County’s new budget brings significant wins for La Quinta and the wider Fourth District, including more funding for affordable housing, infrastructure, and senior meals. The plan also fully funds animal services and boosts support for film and economic development, with Supervisor V. Manuel Perez saying community feedback directly shaped these priorities ahead of final adoption later this month. 
• Tim Allen says ‘Home Improvement' reboot is stuck over cast's ‘personality problems' (washingtontimes.com) — La Quinta briefly enters the spotlight in a national entertainment story because a former “Home Improvement” actor’s 2024 DUI arrest here is complicating talk of a reboot. Tim Allen says “personality problems” among the actors who played his TV sons are stalling any revival plans, while he continues promoting his return as Buzz Lightyear in “Toy Story 5.”
