It’s the time in the election cycle when legislators decide if they are going to run again. The 2024 June primary season is 11 months away, which, to the average voter, may seem like a lifetime. But to legislators and other candidates, it’s a time of decision making. The gathering of petition signatures begins in early October and incumbent legislators will need to raise money prior to the “prohibited fundraising period” before the next legislative session.
Several members of the state Senate have already announced their departure. Read More

Weekly Fishing Report: July 18, 2023
By GEORGE MORSE

Los Alamos Daily Post
The unrelenting heat wave that held a firm grip on New Mexico this past week continues to plague the state. There are encouraging signs that the high pressure dome will weaken later this month and the monsoonal moisture may finally find its way to New Mexico.
Until it does, fishing will be best early in the morning and late in the evening. Streamflows continue to drop and anglers are encouraged to let the trout rest in the middle of the day when the stress of the heat will make it difficult for them to survive being caught and released.
