LAFRW News:Governor Calls Out Rep. Garcia Richard
Gov. Susana Martinez
This morning on the KRSN AM 1490 morning show, Gov. Susana Martinez accused Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard of breaking her campaign promise to voters in Los Alamos with regard to driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants (House Bill 606.)
Garcia Richard is on record during her campaign for favoring the repeal of the current law, which grants driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, saying “It’s a bad law that needs to be changed.”
It appears Garcia Richard was trying to do just that through her vote yesterday. Read More

Letter to the Editor: Thanks for Informative Column
Dear Ralph, et al,
My perception is that the “media” needs a ‘close race’ in order to retain the purchase of commercial time by both “sides”,and thereby maintain their seriously large financial income streams from same.
Facts and benefits to the “People/community” have become unimportant and are no longer a consideration, even though that is the commitment they supposedly make to utilize “the airwaves, which belong to the People.”
Thanks for your informative column.

Column: Analytical Failures in the 2012 Election Results with Implications for Other Topics of Importance
Thoughts from a – hopefully – Enlightened SkepticTo listen to the pundits before the election you would think that anything could have happened last Tuesday when we all went to the polls.
The mainstream media was emphasizing just how close the election was going to be and that Mr. Obama was potentially in grave danger of becoming a one-term president.
If you listened to the conservative pundits you were assured that good, as they define it, would win out over evil; some suggested it would be a rout with Gov. Romney getting over 300 electoral votes.
As an aside, I find it interesting Read More

Letter to the Editor: Vaccines – My Body My Choice
Respectfully, I must take issue with the tone of Dr. Tom’s Letter to the Editor regarding the group of parents who met with their representative to discuss infringement of personal liberties.
The CDCs Recommended Vaccine Schedule is exactly that, a recommendation and I personally take their opinion into consideration before I make decisions about MY CHILD’s health.
The issue here that Dr. Tom fails to acknowledge is that this is not a vaccine issue but a parental rights issue.
No one is questioning the legitimacy of the vaccination program en mass or their personal physicians Read More
Letter to the Editor: Concern Over Parental Rights, Not Vaccine Program
This is in response to the letter to the editor by Dr. Tom Csanadi, “Vaccines-Elected Officials Should Not Feed Fear and Misinformation.”
There are several of us who were concerned over the recent changes to the vaccine exemption forms through the Department of Health (DOH.)
The concern was not that exemptions must be filed if one does not follow the vaccine schedule rigidly, but rather a concern that there is specific religious information being gathered and some parents were being turned down.
The challenge we parents find ourselves in is not one Read More
Letter to the Editor: People Should Celebrate Success
By David JonesAfter many years in small business enterprises, I’m now trying to help entrepreneurs survive long enough to generate cash flow.
My passion for building homegrown businesses and creating jobs means that I want to know how political candidates plan to facilitate the success of growing businesses.
I personally know (Rep.) Jim Hall and have asked him many questions. I believe he has many good ideas and he is clearly committed to this area and it’s economic development.
(House Dist. 43 candidate) Stephanie (Garcia) Richard has also spoken with me and I’ve asked her similar Read More
