Henderson Exits Los Alamos County Council Race
By KRISTIN HENDERSONI am writing for two reasons.
First, to say thank you to my fellow citizens. It has been an honor to serve on the Los Alamos County Council for the last four years, to help make decisions that affect our day-to-day lives and our long-term plans, and to represent Los Alamos around the state and, occasionally, the nation.

It is a place to do schoolwork, listen to music, play games, sprawl on the floor, rough-house, read, build models, daydream, visit with friends and keep innumerable possessions. You’ll need to plan carefully to create a room that serves Read More

I highlight the female part because I think it’s relevant in rape cases. In addition, one Read More
