Letter To The Editor: Kudos To Susan O’Leary
By GEORGE CHANDLERI want to commend Council Vice Chair Susan O’Leary for her courageous Open Letter to the Council published in the March 28 edition of the Los Alamos Daily Post. I spent eight years in that weird little universe she’s trying to navigate and I can tell from her letter that it hasn’t changed much. A lot of staff time goes into trying to give the Council the illusion of being in control while making sure they never get too close to the real levers of power. Susan is obviously getting too close.
What happens next is the freeze-out. There will be some councilors who buy the Read More

Pastor Granillo: Understanding Women And Kings

Understanding Women and Kings.
When I first got married, I knew the primary rule of marriage was that I was to be devoted to this one woman, alone, for the rest of my life. Of course, I was naïve about a lot of things.
I thought all this rule meant, was that other women were off limits. I dare say every husband learns quickly that there is more to it than that. For example, it would not end will if you told your wife that you preferred your mom’s cooking or her cleaning methods.
I learned a lot of serious stuff as well. My wife had her own journey through life before she met me. Read More

Letter to the Editor: New Report On Fort Bayard Medical Center Raises Concern Over Other State Facilities
By Sen. HOWIE MORALES

Among these are the elderly and the ill, children from broken homes in the juvenile detention system, and desperate people struggling with severe mental illness and behavioral problems. When such individuals are being abused and neglected, we must, as citizens, extend compassion, and as public officials, act swiftly.
A new report assembled by staff of the New Mexico Legislative Finance Read More
