Letter To The Editor: Two Democrats Stand For Stover
By JOHN C. HOPKINS and DENNY ERICKSON Dear Friends and Neighbors,
We are two Democrats enthusiastically campaigning to send Republican Sharon Stover to the New Mexico House of Representatives. We do so, John as a Stover-for-District-43 advisor and Denny as the campaign manager, because Sharon is the best person to represent District 43 in this time of trouble for our beloved New Mexico.
Together, we’ve been privileged to live, work, and participate in our Los Alamos community for years when added total more than a century. The two of us brought and raised families here, worked in the Read More
Letter To The Editor: Stover’s Negative Campaign Mailer
By EDWARD BIRNBAUMI’m writing to ask Sharon Stover to stop playing politics with our local schools.
We recently received a piece of very negative campaign literature in the mail. This mailer came, not from a PAC over which the Stover campaign has no control, but rather from the Stover campaign itself (Deborah Reiss, Treasurer), which presumably means that Ms. Stover approves the message.
The mailer has one of those ugly black and white photos of a frowning Stephanie Garcia Richard, and the headline that Garcia Richard voted to take $47 million away from NM schools. The mailer Read More

Letter To The Editor: Protecting Party Line Instead Of School Funding
By DONNA MCDONALD
I heard about the recent vote Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard made to take away $25 million from New Mexico public schools. This vote seemed inconsistent with her promise to protect education funding during the special session, so I decided to watch a video of the committee hearing and see what actually happened.
I am very troubled by what I saw. It seems that Rep. Garcia Richard initially voted to table the bill in question, Senate Bill 10, but when she saw that all of her Democrat colleagues voted to support the bill, she changed her vote.
This bill

Girrens: What’s So Fun
By STEVEN GIRRENS During the past months I’ve been asked, why are you running again Girrens? Haven’t you had enough? What’s so fun about being a Councilor anyway?
Believe me there have been several times when I asked myself the “what’s so fun” question, particularly while driving home to White Rock after a Council meeting around 10 p.m. on a cold, snowy winter night.
I played back the tapes of Council events over the past three years and 9 months asking myself what was fun.
Special highlights rose to the top:
- the Teen Center dedication;
- agreement on funding to
