The segment discusses two major local issues. First, workers from Coachella and Stagecoach festivals have not been paid, and there's concern they may never be. Second, Palm Desert city council is addressing a dispute involving homeowners at Monterey Country Club. These residents purchased condos marketed as three-bedroom units, but the city now categorizes them as two-bedroom plus den, impacting their property values and rental potential.
