Letter To The Editor: Outreach, Not Ads
By DAVID NORTHAt first sight, the new sign and banner at the White Rock library provoked the thought “nice ads”. Bond supporters really upped their game!
Wrong.
Further inspection revealed no advocacy — just the county logo. Turns out they aren’t ads at all, but part of a $35,000 “outreach” campaign funded by the county. This is apparently normal, if a bit upscale.
The last time a similar election was held in 2011 — for a leisure pool — the county devoted $18,000 for outreach, though at that time it was dubbed “public information costs”. The idea? Publicize Read More

Letter To The Editor: Splash Pad Bad Idea
By MARTHA JONESI just read in the Los Alamos Daily Post (link) that the County Council is considering building a splash pad park in White Rock. My initial response was “Boy the County can’t wait to spend our tax dollars on nonsense once again.” The worse part of it is that they want to borrow more money to get this project and others done. It seems to me that we haven’t learned anything from watching our national government take us the citizens into debt that could possibly collapse our economy.
Do you realize that the splash pad area is such a bad idea and let me share the reasons why I think it Read More
