Ryti: FY2027 Budget Hearing And Other Engagement Opportunities

by

By RANDALL RYTI
Chair
Los Alamos County Council 

The annual budget hearings are scheduled for April 27, 28, and 29. The proposed FY2027 budget for Los Alamos County reflects a necessary shift in fiscal strategy—one that acknowledges a new economic reality after several years of unusually strong revenue growth.

I read the letter written by Lisa Shin (link) criticizing the current County Council for not addressing the wishes of the community for more local businesses and a more vibrant downtown. It is not a surprise that Los Alamos residents would like to see those things happen. Criticism of the local government for not having them is totally misguided. I don’t believe government should or can successfully subsidize private businesses. Which ones do they pick to support? How long will the government continue to support the businesses? What about the local businesses we currently Read More

However, the lowest performing areas continue to be the vibrancy of downtown/commercial areas, cost of living, shopping opportunities, and overall quality and variety of business and service establishments.  Read More
