CVEP Legislative Breakfast

CVEP hosted a sold out crowd at this morning's Legislative Breakfast, there to hear our local legislators address the current budget issues and the impact on the Coachella Valley.  The meeting was very informative and the timing of the event couldn't have been planned better.  Thanks to Senator Bill Emmerson, Senator Juan Vargas, Assemblyman Brian Nestande and Silvia Paz, representing Assemblyman V. Manuel Perez for attending and participating in this event.  Thanks to all who attended for making this a successful event.   Click here to watch KPSP's coverage of the event on this morning's show, a summary of the event is also planned to air on this evening's newscast.
