Letter To The Editor: Follow-Up On County Recreation Needs & Economic Development
By FRAN BERTINGThe analysis by staff and Councilor (Susan) O’Leary of where our CIP money has been spent, as shown in the Los Alamos Daily Post of Thursday, Feb. 25, is indeed eye-opening and very valuable as we proceed to allocate our available resources in the current CIP discussion.
Unfortunately, this analysis may reinforce some of the complaints I have heard repeatedly: “The Government is spending all this money on luxurious digs for itself and on roads, at the expense of citizens’ quality of life needs!”
Remember, one of the Read More

Letter To The Editor: Will CIP Proposals Actually Produce Projected Benefits?
By EDWARD BIRNBAUMThe presentations made at the last CIP public forum held by County Council could be categorized as either “business” focused or “recreational/quality of life” focused.
Comments at both the forum and in articles in the Feb. 28 edition of the LA Monitor state that the business-focused proposals are much more likely to produce a return-on-investment and be more valuable to the community. However, I would like to point out that much of the value associated with these proposals is based on the assumption that these newly developed parcels of land, including the Read More

Letter To The Editor: Saddened That Living In Los Alamos Pains You So Much
By DELIA CRUZ-MURPHYGood Afternoon Gerry, (Letter)
I am saddened to hear that living in Los Alamos pains you so much. I understand from your continuous stream of negative communications that you are not satisfied with the development of Los Alamos, and the endless taxation to pay for said improvements.
As you have expressed many times in the past, you feel we are unfairly over taxed in Los Alamos. There were times in the past I would have had to agree with your sentiment of the improper use of funds from the taxation and bond issues … I felt at times that if I had Read More

By GERALD ANTOS
Los Alamos
I just finished reading the story about recreation development and I must confess that Los Alamos County Council Vice Chair Susan O’Leary has just proven beyond a shadow that she wants to completely empty the pockets of the citizens of Los Alamos County to finance her fiefdom’s infrastructure well beyond reason and frankly Susan O’Leary makes me want to be sick.
Is there really no end to her spend thrift ways? I was under the assumption that our County Government wanted to be fiscally responsible but here again we see that O’Leary actually says she Read More
