Ringside Seat: Winners, Losers And A Merciful Ending
By MILAN SIMONICH
The Santa Fe New Mexican
In the world of state politics, everyone reached the finish line at the same time Saturday.
But that doesn’t mean every politician and ordinary person was a winner. New Mexico’s legislative session ended with a range of ratings on my scorecard.
Loser — Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. She nominated James Mountain as Cabinet secretary of the Indian Affairs Department, then effectively blocked his confirmation hearing before the Senate Rules Committee.
Mountain 15 years ago was accused of rape, kidnapping and battery on a household member. Read More
Rep. Dixon: Advanced Energy Technology Encourages Much Needed Innovation
By Rep. Meredith Dixon
Vice Chair House Appropriation and Finance
District 20 Bernalillo
The climate crisis is urgent, and we need to do everything we possibly can to reduce carbon emissions. So, when I see an opportunity to contribute to the fight, I’m all in.
My passion for addressing climate change as well as moving New Mexico forward economically is why I believe we need legislation to modernize our approach to energy production and reducing emissions. In my view, in order to create the necessary tools and incentives, we must be creative and willing to expand our Economic Development Department Read More
Williams: Transparency In Government
By GREGORY WILLIAMS
FOG Board Member & Past President
Public officials and employees love transparency in the abstract. In reality: not so much.
Transparency in government is a crowd-pleasing election promise that gets set aside in practice. It happens in part because openness takes effort. It takes a daily commitment by public entities to provide access to records, to inform the public as to what is going on, and to allow participation. Transparency also invites scrutiny, and not all public officials and employees want that.
Open government also suffers because public officials often Read More
Life After 50: You Just Need One…
By BERNADETTE LAURITZEN
Executive Director

The recent arrest of a man selling fentanyl in our town better be more than a wake-up call. That mixed with two consecutive years of deaths of young adults due to accidental overdose and experimentation has seemed like just another day. Now, we have Xylazine, look it up.
Recently, one of my former leadership students embarked on research using the New Mexico Youth Risk and Resiliency data available at www.youthrisk.org. We have some missing data, but does it matter? Do we know or even pay attention to it? The buzz word was that, “we need to get to the Read More
Weekly Fishing Report: March 15, 2023
By GEORGE MORSE

Los Alamos Daily Post
The ice-fishing season is likely over. Eagle Nest Lake, Fenton Lake and Lake Maloya all closed to ice fishing last week. The only lakes where they may still be ice fishing would be small, high-elevation lakes like Cabresto near Questa and Hopewell Lake between Tres Piedras and Tierra Amarilla. Use extreme caution this time of year before venturing on to any ice.
Streams and rivers should soon start to rise with runoff from the melting snowpack. To get some idea of what to expect, check out conditions in Southwestern New Mexico. Spring runoff Read More
