Local Transit Is An Integral Part Of Our Community
There are many things that a local government provides to its citizens. Parks, roads, and public schools all come to mind, but in my opinion, public transit is one of the most appreciated services that our local government in Los Alamos provides to our community.
Specifically, the Los Alamos Atomic City Transit (ATC) system has really brought parts of the community here together like no other system has done before. Los Alamos County consists of two geographically separated communities: the town site and White Read More
Letter To The Editor: Elizabeth Allen Will Take Municipal Court To The Next Level
We have the opportunity to take our Municipal Court to the next level by electing Elizabeth Allen.
She has years of experience as a trial attorney for both plaintiffs and defendants. Elizabeth has had the opportunity to argue in front of more than 20 judges to observe both good and bad judicial practice.
Experience is normally a good thing but sitting on the same bench for many years can lead judges to an “I’ve seen this before” mindset, which can yield faulty decisions.
Elizabeth has worked with children with disabilities, child protection services, Read More
Letter To The Editor: Why I Endorse James Rickman
I am voting for Jim Rickman to be our next Magistrate Judge. I strongly urge you to do the same.
In New Mexico, magistrate judges are only required to have a high school degree or equivalent, unless the judicial district has 200,000 people or more. We need a judge with more than the minimal requirements to provide a more effective, equitable, evidence-based experience for plaintiffs, defendants, and victims and to improve the poor reputation of our magistrate court for ignorance of legal requirements and procedures.
I have known and worked with Jim Rickman for years. Read More

Letter To The Editor: The Tangled Web – Truth-telling In Political Life
I commend Father Jones for bringing to our attention the importance of truth-telling in political life (link).
“There are six things which the LORD hates, seven which are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue … a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and a man who sows discord among brothers.” (Proverbs 6:16-19)”
We have a President who has mocked women, Hispanic people, black people, disabled people, immigrants, war heroes, and gold star families, among others. Clearly, “sowing Read More

Fr. Glenn: The Tangled Web
Find yourself bored? Need a little excitement? … an adrenaline rush? This week all you may need do is find a crowded room and shout “Kavanaugh!”… and dive for cover. Let the melee begin.
The Kavanaugh hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee was quite the divisive spectacle last week. Now that issue has been passed on to the Senate, we are no doubt going to be afforded even more drama. One cannot but weary of it all … saddened as we watch the nation subjected to yet another trial of faith in its government. It seems that one Read More
