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

COMMUNITY News:
Most people today are familiar with depression and anxiety, but there is far less public understanding of more severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder with psychosis, and borderline personality disorder – conditions that can profoundly affect individuals, families and communities. Because these illnesses often begin in young adulthood and can alter a person’s sense of reality, families frequently find themselves navigating confusion, stigma and complex systems of care.
