Happy Easter! You might, unless you are Christian Orthodox, say “but that was a week ago”. In many of our churches, Easter is celebrated for 50 days, until the Day of Pentecost, which means “Fifty”. Among us, Easter is a season!
In this Easter Season, we tell the gospel stories in which the resurrected Jesus came to be among his apostles. He first needed to calm them down with the words, “Peace be with you”, here Read More

Op-Ed: Criticizing Government For Not Having More Small Businesses Is Totally Misguided
By BILL ENLOE
Santa Fe
I read the letter written by Lisa Shin (link) criticizing the current County Council for not addressing the wishes of the community for more local businesses and a more vibrant downtown. It is not a surprise that Los Alamos residents would like to see those things happen. Criticism of the local government for not having them is totally misguided. I don’t believe government should or can successfully subsidize private businesses. Which ones do they pick to support? How long will the government continue to support the businesses? What about the local businesses we currently Read More
Home Country: The Family Dove
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
We have a master gardener in our family. Two, actually. My wife, Catherine, and her identical twin, Eleanor. These women spent a whole year studying stuff like how to grow things that you’d like to have and how to avoid growing things that turn your stomach.
Catherine is really active in the group and volunteers to find volunteers. Hey, you can ask. She loves doing it, and I’m kinda an occasional tag-a-long.

According to the most recent National Community Survey in Los Alamos County, over 97 percent of residents would like local businesses, fiscal stewardship, and communication and engagement to be prioritized in our community. However, the lowest performing areas continue to be the vibrancy of downtown/commercial areas, cost of living, shopping opportunities, and overall quality and variety of business and service establishments.

Op-Ed: Anti-Predatory Lending Law Working As Intended, But Threats Are Looming
By KATIE GUTIERREZ
Tax, Budget, and Economic Reform Director
Think New Mexico
Despite the success of the anti-predatory lending law in keeping credit accessible to low-income New Mexicans at dramatically lower interest rates, threats to the law are looming.
In 2022, Think New Mexico worked with Representative Susan Herrera, Senator Bill Soules, and members of the Fair Lending Coalition to win passage of legislation reducing the maximum annual interest rates of small loans from 175% to 36%. The law is worded to prevent charges over 36% for any small loans made in the state—including interest Read More
