By KEI DAVISCarolynn Roberts has said it best so far, IMO.
Does this tax hike apply to commercial properties as well? If so, then rents will go up, local businesses will have to charge more for their goods and services, thus driving more business away, so they’ll have to charge even more, the all-too-common death spiral to going bankrupt/out of business in “wealthy” Los Alamos.
Just say “NO” to wanton fiscal irresponsibility.

I agree that Los Alamos, and especially White Rock, need recreational updating/upgrading and, as a property owner, I am willing to foot some of that bill but this $20,000,000 Recreation General Obligation Bond fills me with apprehension and I just can’t vote for it. This is my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions…
RISK
Los Alamos county property owners are taking on all of the risk; a risk that is not in our realm of control. If something adverse happens at LANL or another fire devastates our community, WE, the property owners, are still responsible for Read More
By MARGOT LIBERTY, PresidentYou might be surprised to learn that the Los Alamos Golf Course is not JUST a golf course. It’s more than that, it’s much more than that. A golf course is a gathering place. It’s a place where family, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances come together to socialize and enjoy the beauty that surrounds this wonderful town. It’s also a place where every year hundreds of adorable children come to find that one magical Easter egg among friends. It’s a place that hosts high school cross country meets, and in the winter it’s a place where many utilize Read More
By BETTY ANN GUNTHERNow that the Rec Bond is facing organized opposition (link) from people with money, it is more important than ever for those of us who want additional recreation venues in Los Alamos to vote to support the Rec Bond in the upcoming election.
People have wondered why Los Alamos has a declining population and what to do about it, and I suggest that having sufficient recreational facilities is an important way to stop this decline.
Los Alamos citizens have wondered why, as one of the wealthiest counties in the nation, we can’t have a nice facility like Genoveva Chavez Read More

The Los Alamos Little Theatre’s rendition of the absurdist classic “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead” opened April 28.
Director John Cullinon asks in the program notes if R&G is the funniest tragedy ever written, or perhaps the saddest comedy.That pretty much sums it up.

By EDWARD BIRNBAUMI attended almost all of the public meetings that addressed the projects whose funding is a part of the $20 million bond issue now up for a vote. It was pretty obvious from attending these meetings that each project has a significant cadre of dedicated and passionate supporters. It was also pretty obvious that if funding was restricted only to CIP funds, only one or possibly two major projects could be funded, so much like individuals opting to obtain a mortgage to fund their home purchases, County Council opted to combine CIP dollars with dollars from a bond issue to Read More
