Letter To The Editor: Support Expressed For County’s Sheriff And Police Department
By PATRICK BRENNER, Republican Candidate Los Alamos County Council
In light of recent events, I offer my full fledged support of our County’s Sheriff and Police Department. Thank you for everything you do.
I am jumping into the quagmire of the Sheriff feet first. I am stumped by the amount of vitriol surrounding the elected position that Sheriff Lucero has legitimately won and is in his 2nd term. What could cause a County Council to systematically reduce the role of our Sheriff to virtually nothing and then ask the voters whether they’d like to remove the Office of Sheriff from our town permanently?

Letter To The Editor: Not One Person Stopped…
By STEPHANIE NAKHLEHLos Alamos
As I write this letter, I still have a bit of dried blood on my hands. A few minutes ago, I came across a man lying on the ground on San Ildefonso Road, covered in blood, his mangled bicycle under him.
Car after car ahead of me drove past this man before I could get to him. I ran out of the car, asked how he was, and tended to him as best I could. His injuries didn’t appear too serious and I tried to mop him up a bit as we waited for the ambulance to arrive. Meanwhile, cars kept passing us. Many people slowed to gape at the bloody man sitting with the frantic middle-aged woman trying to

By CAMILLE MORRISONWhite Rock

He was the one who sent the letter to White Rock residents informing us that as of July 1 our zip code would be 87547. The letter did not say you have a new address White Rock, NM 87547. My husband was on the phone with Dell computer this morning. They asked for his address. He said Los Alamos, NM 87547. The computer wouldn’t accept that zip code. She tried putting in the zip code and it came up White Rock, NM.
I tried to explain to him that we are a suburb of Los Alamos, not a separate
