Day: Los Alamos Needs A County With A ‘Can-Do’ Philosophy To Help Small Business Thrive
By ROBERT DAY
Los Alamos
I appreciated the editorial by Allen Saenz published in the Sept. 24 Los Alamos Daily Post (link). It confirms many of the concerns that I have regarding Los Alamos County’s lack of support for our business community. I have had my permanent address in Los Alamos for over 70 years and have seen our town proceed from having a thriving business community with a wide variety of stores to a few stores of very limited commodities.
This erosion seemed to begin in the 1980s and proceeded on a downhill path ever since. It appears to have been advanced by LANL being able to rent space at Read More

Entertainer-turned-politician Kinky Friedman was asked in 2006 about getting the Democrats and Republicans to work together. He responded, “I’m running for governor, not God.”
After months of political advertising that’s more punishing than enlightening, the likelihood of anybody working together to get something done seems remote, despite all their fine language about “reaching across the aisle.”
And yet, sometimes they do. There’s even a measure of how often this happens in Congress.
In 2015 two organizations created Read More

Growing up, I learned the value of hard work from my parents. I also saw that sometimes, no matter how hard they worked, they struggled to get by. One of the reasons I eventually ran for office was to help make it easier for people like my parents to make ends meet.
I am proud to support Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz this election because they share my passion for helping hardworking families thrive. Vice President Harris and Governor Walz grew up in working families themselves. They understand Read More

“Jesus was political. Jesus was not partisan.” I so appreciate this understanding of who Jesus was the in world. How many of us function with the “rule” that you are not supposed to discuss politics, religion or sex in “polite” society?
Our faith community has been dealing with what is “polite” verses what is “civil” as we read and discus Read More

When I heard the Mayor (Española Mayor John Ramon Vigil) wrote an article in response to my criticisms of his proposed plastic bag ban in the Los Alamos Daily Post, I was hoping to find a well-reasoned and researched disagreement where we could have a substantive conversation about something that would impact our entire community. Unfortunately, as usual, the mayor took criticism of a policy proposal personally and wrote an angry screed filled with personal attacks. anecdotal evidence, and emotional appeals.
