Happy Easter! You might, unless you are Christian Orthodox, say “but that was a week ago”. In many of our churches, Easter is celebrated for 50 days, until the Day of Pentecost, which means “Fifty”. Among us, Easter is a season!
In this Easter Season, we tell the gospel stories in which the resurrected Jesus came to be among his apostles. He first needed to calm them down with the words, “Peace be with you”, here Read More

By BILL ENLOE
Santa Fe

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
