Cyberwar: Growing Worries About Russia Hacking, Disrupting U.S. Election
Courtesy/bgr
CYBER SECURITY News:
The U.S. government is worried that Russia government hackers may try to hack and disrupt the upcoming presidential election.
The U.S. intelligence community, DHS, and private cybersecurity experts have already identified a broad and sustained hacking effort by hackers working for two government agencies – the FSB (the Russian domestic security agency, successor to the KGB) and the GRU (the Russian army’s intelligence branch) — aiming to undermine the campaign of Hilary Clinton and help Donald Trump. Among other things, the Russian government Read More
Letter To The Editor: Vote For Sharon Stover And Steve Girrens
By JAMES CHROBOCINSKIAs a County Councilor and small business owner I have had the pleasure to work closely with Sharon Stover and Steve Girrens over the last couple years.

Sharon Stover was raised in this region and has spent her adult life volunteering and serving in many roles including non-profits, elected, and volunteer. It is absolutely unquestioned that it was her leadership that led our Read More

Letter To The Editor: Pick Stover – She Really Knows Los Alamos
By RICK REISS, ChairLetter To The Editor: Clarifying Same Sex Marriage License Litigation Case
By BECKY EHLER
Former County Attorney
I would like to clarify the cost and the position of the Los Alamos County Clerk during the same sex marriage license litigation case.
First, Los Alamos County did not expend any funds for representing the Clerk, Sharon Stover in the litigation. The entire Los Alamos County case was handled by the County’s in-house legal
staff. Likewise, Los Alamos County did not pay any of the cost of the Supreme Court case where the issue was decided for the entire state.
Second, the response to the temporary order did not indicate that Ms. Stover opposed same sex marriage. Read More

Letter To The Editor: First Amendment
By Concerned ResidentLetter To The Editor: Question 1 And Power
By KRISTINA KERSHNERQuestion 1 is not about a man; it is about the people keeping their right to balance the power of those who govern them. When those in power try to convince you to diminish or eliminate an office created to protect and represent you – an office directly elected by you, you should ask why.
Currently, there is a movement across the US to diminish or eliminate the office of Sheriff. Why? There’s only one answer and it comes down to power. Because the Sheriff is elected directly by the people, it is the only arm of law enforcement directly accountable to the people. Thus,
Egolf: Stephanie Garcia Richard Is A Champion Who Deserves Reelection
By BRIAN EGOLF, Democratic Leader Los Alamos and all of House District 43 are incredibly lucky to have a true champion representing you in the New Mexico House of Representatives: Stephanie Garcia Richard. I know Stephanie well and have seen how hard she works for the people she represents. I hope the voters give her another two years to fight for them in the House.
Today, true public servants are hard to find; public servants who put their constituents above all else are even harder to find. Stephanie Garcia Richard always puts her constituents first, even before Read More
Letter To The Editor: Response To ‘LWV Forum Incident’
By GEORGE CHANDLER
Los Alamos
I have no knowledge other than press reports and John Horne’s letter regarding the “LWV Forum Incident,” reported by him in the Daily Post.
But Mr. Horne escalates the incident into “an attempt to suppress political speech” and “an instance of corruption” in the Los Alamos Police Department that supposedly illustrates the need for a Sheriff in Los Alamos. He could not be further from the truth. Quite the contrary, the incident exemplifies the confusion surrounding the Sheriff’s Office and the status of so-called deputies complicating the enforcement of law in Read More

SENATE News:Letter To The Editor: There’s A Reason Why Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard Has Been Repeatedly Elected
By SUSAN O’LEARYI’m writing to ask you to vote to return Stephanie Garcia Richard to the New Mexico State House as our Representative from Los Alamos.

Letter To The Editor: Support For Sharon Stover For House Dist. 43
DOROTHY CRAWFORDI am supporting Sharon Stover for State Representative. I have known and worked with Sharon for years, and she has always been kind, dependable and inclusive. Sharon is a leader with knowledge of Los Alamos and New Mexico, competent and professional.
I am speaking to one issue that has surfaced. Many people have tried to suggest her actions regarding issuing same-sex marriage licenses in Los Alamos County were motivated by bias. Rather than acting from bias, however, Sharon was part of a professional and unified effort by all 33 county clerks in New Mexico to get the Read More
