Friday there were two groundbreaking ceremonies for courthouse projects in Riverside County. I attended the 9 a.m. event in Indio for the new Juvenile and Family Courthouse.
Riverside Superior Court Presiding Judge John Monterosso opened the event by saying that public buildings should reflect our public values, and that an enduring trait of our American experiment is the tenet that everybody deserves their day in court.
He said, “Those who come here will see that this is a serious building where serious business takes place.”
