Among other things, the Russian government Read More

By JAMES CHROBOCINSKI
Los Alamos County Councilor

As a County Councilor and small business owner I have had the pleasure to work closely with Sharon Stover and Steve Girrens over the last couple years.

Sharon Stover was raised in this region and has spent her adult life volunteering and serving in many roles including non-profits, elected, and volunteer. It is absolutely unquestioned that it was her leadership that led our Read More

by

By RICK REISS, Chair
Los Alamos County Council
 
I believe Sharon Stover is our best choice for State Representative. If years of involvement in our community and the northern New Mexico region is any measure, the best representative is Ms. Stover.  
 
Ms. Stover has been a part of the very fabric of our community and region for over 30 years. Her work in the community stretches from children to seniors, from rebuilding from tragedy to new economic development, from leadership development in Los Alamos to working with leaders across the entire state and in government

by

By BECKY EHLER
Former County Attorney

I would like to clarify the cost and the position of the Los Alamos County Clerk during the same sex marriage license litigation case.

First, Los Alamos County did not expend any funds for representing the Clerk, Sharon Stover in the litigation. The entire Los Alamos County case was handled by the County’s in-house legal
staff. Likewise, Los Alamos County did not pay any of the cost of the Supreme Court case where the issue was decided for the entire state.

Second, the response to the temporary order did not indicate that Ms. Stover opposed same sex marriage. Read More

Letter To The Editor: First Amendment

by

By Concerned Resident
Los Alamos
 
I completely agree with the previous letter saying that people are trampling other’s First Amendment rights when they remove or destroy campaign signs.
 
I have had signs that I put out for Secretary Clinton and Senator Kaine removed or damaged. It isn’t one sided, but then intolerance isn’t one-sided, it is simply wrong.
 
To those who find these signs so upsetting that they have to attack them or think it is funny to destroy them, please try to remember we live in a democracy and ideas are what we should value. A sign is a very
