We would like to extend a special thank you to our family and friends who assisted Leonard Romero in attending the Robertson High School Close Up trip to Washington, DC. Many of our family and friends contributed by donating to all of our fundraising efforts. A special thanks to Leonard’s sponsors who were our Local 4625 Fire Fighter’s Union, We Care Agency and Mr. Art Baca. We appreciate all of you.

I keep hearing about nepotism at Luna Community College. This kind of management is detrimental to the school because obviously the best candidates for a position are never considered irregardless of what they may bring to the table. Las Vegas has suffered for many years under this kind of management system. It is time to remove those that condone this practice and look for individuals that can move Luna CC forward. Your children’s future is at stake; this kind of archaic system must be removed and people held accountable.

It was absolutely hilarious to read Sofia Martinez’s (May 27) Op-Ed in the Optic, in which she raged against non-residents who dared speak in favor of Mora County’s anti-fracking ordinance. Terrible, that outsiders should poke their noses into a community’s internal affairs.

Why was this so hilarious?

Because only three days prior, in Friday’s Optic, this same Sofia Martinez weighed in on the recall of Alfonso Ortiz in a paid political ad. Martinez is a resident of Albuquerque.
