By The Rev. Mary Ann Hill
On the Sunday following Easter, many churches read the story of “Doubting Thomas”. Thomas sometimes gets a bad rap. He really was more of a pragmatist than a doubter. He was a plain-spoken straight-shooter. His skepticism was completely understandable, given the circumstances. Like all the rest of Jesus’ followers, Thomas knew that his Lord was dead and buried in a tomb. But Read More

Distracted driving is any activity that could divert your attention away from the main task of driving. It is something that is both dangerous and disturbingly common. In fact, an estimated 660,000 drivers are using electronic devices while driving during daylight hours.
You may be surprised to learn that cell phones and texting are just part of the problem when it comes to distracted driving. While stowing your phone while you drive is an important safety step, other behaviors behind the wheel, from drinking coffee to Read More
Jordan: New Mexico Is Right To Hold Out For Higher Prices For Its Most Valuable Commodity
By BILL JORDAN
New Mexico Voices for Children
New Mexico is a land with many valuable assets – from our rich cultural diversity to our stunning physical beauty, to our mineral wealth. These assets belong to us all and while it’s impossible to put a price on some of them – our culture and natural landscape, to be precise – we can and do put a price on our mineral wealth. And that price needs to be fair so that we are all receiving the benefit of the bounty beneath our feet.
That’s why we support State Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard’s pause on certain leases on land in the Permian Basin. Commissioner Read More

By ROBERT GIBSON
Chair
Los Alamos County Board of Public Utilities
By late 2026, the majority of Los Alamos’s electric power will come from the sun! The County recently inked a 20-year deal to purchase power from a large photovoltaic field and battery bank to be built a few miles northwest of Farmington.
Remarkably, the new solar power will cost LESS than the coal- and gas-based power it replaces.
The project, called Foxtail Flats (the County did not name it), is being built near Farmington where it can tie into the electric transmission system formerly used by San Juan Generating Station. That Read More

It’s election year. This year all 112 seats in the New Mexico Legislature are up for grabs.
That isn’t totally accurate because 37 of those candidates have no opposition in either the primary or the general. No one else is “grabbing” for those seats.
On the Republican side, nine House seats and nine Senate seats have competitive races. For Democrats there are 15 completive House primaries and 11 competitive primaries on the Senate side.
Competitive primaries are created by numerous factors. This year, there have been a number Read More
