  • End of the road

    Sarah Pridgeon|Feb 16, 2023

    A group of landowners from the Hulett area have found themselves disagreeing over the maintenance required on a private road that serves an estimated ten families. Despite the differences of opinion, several of the affected citizens were able to come together last week on a potential solution: requesting that it be adopted as a county road. Unfortunately, the Crook County Commissioners were equally united in their response. While the landowners have every right to put together a formal petition for their request, the commissioners responded,...

  • CCMSD ready to create foundation

    Sarah Pridgeon|Feb 16, 2023

    Crook County Medical Services District is ready to form its own internal fundraising foundation, having given the nod of approval to a completed set of bylaws. The board decided this was necessary after disagreements with the Crook County Medical Foundation (CCMF) over the Red Bluffs Clinic, which led trustees to feel that the goals of the two entities no longer aligned. Offering a contract to Campbell County Health was, to some, a clear demonstration that the foundation’s mandate is to support healthcare in the county, rather than CCMSD i...

  • Republicans fail again to end crossover voting 

    Aedan Hannon, Casper Star-Tribune Via Wyoming News Exchange|Feb 16, 2023

    CASPER — Crossover voting has long rankled Wyoming Republicans. Lawmakers and party leaders have called for the end of the practice in which Democrats and independents instantly switch their party affiliation to cast a ballot in Republican primaries. National politics and the August 2022 Republican primaries supercharged their concerns as Democrats and independents changed their affiliations to back Wyoming’s former Rep. Liz Cheney. Those frustrations drove Wyoming lawmakers to once again attempt to eliminate crossover voting during this yea...
