Letter to the Editor: Protecting safe, legal reproductive healthcare
As a family medicine provider in New Mexico, I see patients throughout the spectrum of their lives. From babies taking their first steps, to elders who rely on loved ones to get around, I am reminded of the diverse medical needs of my patients. I know that each patient exists within a unique set of circumstances that...
Letter to the Editor: Some political speech is meaningless
Dear Gallup Area Voters,
Oorah, luckily no one from the ‘good old boy’ system is running in the municipal elections this cycle and there are good candidates this time. That certainly leaves room for optimism doesn’t it? Though, as you would guess since I’m writing this letter, I do have an issue to present to you readers who acknowledge your duty to vote, and since all the current candidates, including the ones I personally support, are guilty of this, raising this issue publicly now, does not suggest my preferences.
First, how long has Gallup been treading water or on the decline? How long have the serious problems in Gallup (infrastructure, streets & sidewalks, stagnant...

Big oil, gas producers get a break
New Mexico kids get shortchangedWe all benefit when New Mexico’s classrooms have the resources they need to educate our children. After all, today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders, entrepreneurs, and workforce. But our educational outcomes are not what they should be, and part of the reason is that we’ve underfunded our schools for years.
Some of the money that supports New Mexico’s education system comes from royalties and rental payments paid by the oil and natural gas industries. Because we understand how fortunate we are to have those natural resources, we tend to forget our responsibility to be the very best stewards of them that we can be. We must ensure that we’re...
Madame G guide to the stars Week of March 2
Today the Sun shines in Pisces. The sign of the fish goes with the flow, shows compassion, and works on the inner self. Take notice and consider going on an adventure. You may find the idea of romancing yourself a little silly, but it might be just the ticket. Madame G recommends you become someone whom you’d want to date. Enjoy yourself.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You’re a loyal friend. You work hard. Don’t kill yourself with drudgery. Now may be the time to let go of negativity, surrender and heal. Perhaps to even seek out a compassionate guide, mentor or therapist. Get outside and enjoy the day. A few mental breaks will help you out more than you think.

Letter to the Editor: 2020 Mayoral election
In both 2011 and 2015 Mayoral elections, I wrote letters to all the candidates for the position of Mayor. Only candidate Yogash Kumar visited with me in 2011. In 2015, after it was determined that a run-off election was needed, I was able to have a conversation with both McKinney and Galanis before the run-off election.
I also wrote several letters to the local papers which all were published. The last letter I wrote talked about my conversations with McKinney and Galanis. In that letter I talked mainly about “Vision for Gallup” for the next 5-7-10 years.
So, here are the main 5 priorities I felt needed to be addressed. There has been some progress, yet I find that all five still...
