Reagor: The UnQuarked Mess – You Get The Bill
By DAVID REAGOR
Republican Candidate
Los Alamos County Council
The UnQuarked business is a wine bar and restaurant that has operated in Los Alamos for a number of years. Last year they attempted to move to a new site on Central Avenue. Almost a year ago the county government stopped work on the site by red tagging their remodeling efforts. The owner states that he intends to file suit against the county. He alleges financial harm caused by the county government actions that are “unlawful, arbitrary, and capricious”.
The same space was open as a restaurant in the past, it was the former home of the Blue Read More

Where has our gone, and how do we get it back on track?
Wednesday evening, I watched the Planning and Zoning Commission meet to decide on approval of the site plan for the affordable senior housing project on DP Road. Sounds great right? On the surface it sure does, but the details of this meeting left me sad, upset and confused as to how we ended up in this position.
The proposed site for this senior housing is located in an area that was used for Manhattan Project-era dumping of radiological waste. Overall, this is not a Read More
Hopkins: Important Reasons To Re-elect Christine Chandler
By JOHN C. HOPKINS
Los Alamos
I endorse Christine Chandler for re-election as New Mexico District 43 representative.
I have known Christine since she joined the Laboratory. She was an attorney and a group leader. She has a broad understanding of the issues faced by the Lab and understands their interactions with Northern New Mexico communities and with the Federal government.
During her tenure at the Lab and beyond, she has volunteered at the Los Alamos County, including a role as chair of the County Council. This has given her a sound understanding of the state and local governments.

Fr. Glenn: The Freedom Of Truth
By Fr. Glenn Jones
Is anyone—everyone—confused? Perhaps more than we think. With the onslaught of conflicting information concerning the various candidates in the upcoming election, it’s hard not to be. We find ourselves continuously having to ask: “Is this … or is it that … report which is correct; they are claiming essentially opposite things. Did this thing even really happen … and as they say it happened? Did he or she really do what is alleged?
Sigh. For those who want to be truly informed and not simply vote for the “correct” letter by a name, it can be a jungle out there. But, unfortunately, Read More

Delay Breeds Delay; Problems Fester
Delay festers. Delay often starts from fearing a contest of ideas, which spills into muddling issues far worse. Popular politics thinks that hitting on personalities and mini-messages works faster than questions and answers. So, time passes and problems grow worse. The time and attention given to personal insults and party slogans would better go to urgent work on problems.
Delay has varied shapes and sizes to see. The public forum churns with suspicions as to which sides may
