Mason: Raising Gross Receipts Tax Could Hinder LANL’s Growth–And The Region’s Prosperity
By Director Thom Mason
Los Alamos National Laboratory
Next week, the Los Alamos County Council will consider two measures to increase the gross receipts tax rate paid by residents and businesses located within the county’s boundaries. I am writing to express my concern about this proposed increase because, as the budget at Los Alamos National Laboratory has begun to stabilize after several years of growth, we did not anticipate this additional cost.
The projected increase to LANL is expected to be roughly $13.5 million a year, or $135 million over 10 years. This proposed increase will have Read More

By Jaipriya Goff, Pharm.D.
Director of Pharmacy
Los Alamos Medical Center
Many of us have taken medicine to help heal from illness or injury at some point in our lives. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), nearly 50 percent of American adults used at least one prescription drug within the past 30 days.

Op-Ed: No Kings Protest 2.0 Showcases Unity
By KELLY DOLEJSI
Los Alamos
Saturday’s No Kings events across the U.S. likely included some Marxists and anti-fascists, but the overwhelming majority of those peacefully protesting were there because we don’t want one branch of government to rule unchecked by the other two. Such a government is unconstitutional and anti-American.
The protest included the expected Progressives and Democrats, but also Centrists and former Republicans, united in our strong disapproval of how the president insults, indicts, lies about, fires, or otherwise ruins those who publicly disagree with him.

Catch Of The Week: Hey, You! Get Off Of My Cloud!
By REBECCA RUTHERFORD
Los Alamos
For the Los Alamos Daily Post
It started just after midnight Pacific Time on Monday—most of us were likely still half-asleep, relying on devices we trust to wake us, shop for us, secure our homes, keep us connected.
Instead, a massive outage across the internet made it clear just how thin the thread is that holds our digital lives together.
I was trying to check my Ring cam on the front porch about 3 a.m. to check on the pumpkin my kid carved and see if anything was trying to eat it. It wouldn’t connect at all and wouldn’t even display history. I checked downdetector.com Read More

Duplicate Bridge In Los Alamos: Oct. 15, 2025
BRIDGE News:
Winners of last week’s open games were Jerry Fleming (twice), Martin Cooper, just back from a month-long trip to Africa, and Cliff Rudy.
Handicap winners were Reggie Fuchs and Bobby Haynes (twice), Norm Worth, Randy Baker and Alan Wadlinger.
Today’s hand is very competitive and emphasizes the fact that if you don’t bid aggressively, you’ll often lose the game.
This is board #18. East is the dealer and N/S are vulnerable.
East is the dealer and should open 1♦. After South’s pass, West’s normal bid is 1♥, (he/she is not strong enough to bid 2♣, as that would show a much better Read More
