Op-Ed: ‘County Shows It Doesn’t Give A Flock About Surveilling Citizens’
By JAMES RICKMAN
Los Alamos
Perhaps I should feel grateful that County leaders dispatched their official Spin Doctor to reply to my letter about the emergence of a network of Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPRs) in our community (link). But outside of Mr. Krueger’s “Trust Us, We’re the Government” response, the County continues to sidestep the issue of why the cameras were installed in the first place.
Is Los Alamos facing some kind of underlying existential threat that necessitates its citizens giving up some of their liberties to gain a little more security?
The way the County tells it, Read More

United Way Northern New Mexico News:
David Meyerhofer first gave to United Way as a graduate student in Princeton, New Jersey. He wasn’t thinking about legacy or lineage. He wasn’t honoring a family name. He and his wife simply looked at the organization and liked what it stood for.
“My wife and I chose United Way because we liked their approach,” he says. “It wasn’t more complicated than that.”
That was the beginning of a giving habit that has lasted over four decades. What David didn’t know—what no one in Read More
