Letter To The Editor: Response To ‘A Mountain Of Reasons To Abolish Office Of Sheriff’

By Sheriff Marco Lucero
Los Alamos County

As your Sheriff I have done my best to enhance public safety in our community. I was told when I first ran for office that politics is dirty business, and I replied, I’m not a politician; I’m a law enforcement officer. It is disappointing when members of our community wrongfully label you as a raving, power seeking and anti-government extremist. Boy, I surely didn’t expect that when I ran to be your Sheriff.

For those of you who know me and what I hold true to, you know that I have done my best to keep a calm professional demeanor. I respect a person’s right to write Read More

Letter To The Editor: Disappointed With Lack Of Respect

By APRIL NOLAN
Los Alamos

Saturday afternoon as I was leaving my home on Rover Boulevard near Grand Canyon, I was surprised to see two police cars with lights on approaching. I quickly realized, however, that a hearse (also with lights flashing) was following the police, and that the three vehicles were leading a funeral procession.

I pulled over to the side of the road to show my respect for the deceased and the mourners.

As the procession continued to pass going the other direction, I glanced into my rearview mirror and was surprised to see two vehicles behind me, proceeding as if nothing were amiss. Read More
