Letter To The Editor: Support Regional Transit GRT Reauthorization

Submitted by Carol A. Clark on October 15, 2018 - 12:30 am
By PETE SHEEHEY
Los Alamos County Councilor

The citizens of four counties, including Los Alamos, voted in 2008 to authorize a 1/8 percen Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) increment to support regional mass transit. Although no ending date was voted upon, these counties imposed a Jan. 1, 2024 sunset date.

On this November’s ballot, we are asked to reauthorize the tax by removing the sunset date. I strongly support a yes vote to continue the high value transit services that it provides. For people here who don’t have a car or the ability to drive, good transit service is a lifeline.

All tax expenditures deserve Read More

PCA: What do you believe makes Los Alamos County special?
 
Scott: The outdoors is really one of the big things that kept me here after coming here. I think a lot of people that have come and stayed here are drawn to that.
 
Clearly, the science is for me a great part of who we are. It just pervades, with friendships, and the things that the community has to offer. I don’t know, it’s just very unique. I don’t know of any town that has that.

Democratic Candidate

I recently had the honor to once again participate in the League of Women Voters of Los Alamos Candidate Forum. At the event, many subjects were discussed including the Flow Trial and the Gross Receipts Tax from our laboratory.
