Los Alamos Daily Post
August can be a very busy month. Families scramble to prepare for school. Many of them are also trying to put together one last family fishing and camping trip before the kids return to school.
Gardeners are starting to reap a bounty of produce, in particular crops like tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and, of course, green chile. The pungent smell of roasting green chiles fills the air.
If you are one of those who like to gather wild mushrooms, this year’s strong monsoon season has been a blessing. The moisture has led to a literal explosion of Read More
Ryti: Using 20th Street Lots To Support Local Businesses
By RANDALL RYTI
Chair
Los Alamos County Council
Now that the Council has voted to terminate the Local Economic Development Act (LEDA) project for the six lots in 20th Street; it is time for Council to act quickly to use this land to help support local businesses. Two years ago, the Council agreed to donate the land to TNJLA in exchange for the economic benefits for a Marriott hotel and conference center project.
I opposed this LEDA deal in 2019 because I had concerns regarding the need for a downtown conference center and allocating all six lots in a prime downtown location to one project. There was Read More
Walker: The Entire Republican Party Is Unfit For Office
By AARON WALKER
White Rock
Until the Republican Party can shed the abomination that is Donald Trump, nobody within their ranks is fit to hold any elected office. They are assaulting our republic at every turn, and it is disgusting and unacceptable.
The party as a whole attempts to minimize January 6th and not call it exactly what it was: an insurrection. An attack on our federal government. The GOP gets all riled up about riots and antifa, but they don’t care that a group of THEIR OWN attempted to stop the certification of the election. 100% unacceptable.
The party as a whole continues to push election Read More

To the Los Alamos County Tourism Task Force:
My name is Sandy Charles. I will be conducting a Los Alamos History Museum docent-guided walking tour of our historic district at noon, Wednesday Aug. 10.
During the last 8 or 9 years of doing these tours, plus 5 additional years docenting at the museum, I have compiled some suggestions:
The only reason tourists drive out of their way to this isolated mesa top is to learn more about the Manhattan Project. (Bandelier and the Valles Caldera are separate entities that have their own draw. I am speaking of our town, itself.) The historic Read More
Stradling: Response To Skolnik Letter
By GARY STRADLING
Republican Candidate
Los Alamos County Council
Mr. Skolnik wrote (https://ladailypost.comletter-to-the-editor-gary-stradling-doing-what-we-want-to-do/) about my position on liberty (https://ladailypost.comstradling-allowed-forbidden-compelled/) with a fundamental misunderstanding about the power of choosing liberty instead of compulsion. He wrongly asserts that the choices of liberty-loving residents are “self centered and destructive”. That is not my experience. In society, particularly in Los Alamos County, we are remarkably aware of the Read More
Chandler: Analysis Of Proposed Changes To Nuisance Code (Chapter 18)
By GEORGE CHANDLER
Los Alamos
Urban planning consultant DPS has issued a draft of a new nuisance code.
This is a long overdue revision of the nuisance code that was put in place years ago in a well-meant effort to deal with the never-ending problems of junk cars and unkempt or abandoned houses, and happily the new code eliminates many of the gross problems of the old one. Unfortunately, in spite of many years working in our little town, DPS still doesn’t quite get it about Los Alamos.
The new code seeks to impose standards and rules on the old neighborhoods and housing stock of Los Alamos that have Read More
