Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:   Taxes are the rent we pay for the privilege of living in an organized social environment. Taxes have been around since mankind started to live in any kind of ordered environment. Tax collectors have been reviled since Biblical times and probably before.    Everyone wants to live in...
Sometimes money makes us poor. When I think about our state and the communities across it, I feel truly thankful to live here where family, friends, hard work, and handshakes still mean the world to us. Our riches don’t come from money, they come from each other, the land we live on, and the...
To the Editor:   If you hunt, camp, hike, trail ride or lease on public land you will be affected by the revisions proposed by the Bureau of Land Management. Locking the public off public land is no longer an issue of the future. It is today.     The promise is on the U.S. Department of Interior...
To the Editor:   Life with chronic pain, much less severe pain with rare disease, is what most in this country would compare to running a gauntlet.   Between the tough winters, life of of the Western plains, and inaccessibility of specialized health care, and the ignorance and pressure of...
To the Editor:   As a former legislator, I have been commenting on Wyoming taxes for 40 years. Our personal taxes are among the lowest in the nation. The laws have not changed. The valuation factor has not changed, the mill levy has not changed significantly, your house did not grow.    So what...
To the Editor,   Congratulations to the Class of 2023! I wish you all the best in the future, each and every one. May God inspire your hearts, and may all good dreams be fulfilled.    Certainly there are obstacles, but try to make a positive of it instead.    It is always a blessing to see the...
To the Editor:   I find it humorous and insulting all at the same time.    The Newcastle City Council has agreed to let the good citizens of Newcastle utilize dump services free of charge during the month of June and September with a paid water bill for the current month. Their hopes are that...
To the editor: Recently there was a question as to why people are moving out — well, I think the current wages and a generation gap is part of the problem. The wages are between $9 and $13 an hour, give or take.   Anyone that is a single female or male without kids can’t live on those wages or even...
To the Editor:   Tonight (Wednesday, April 12) I tried to speak during Mr. Brad LaCroix’s superintendent report. The Weston County School District No. 1 Board was speaking about the four-day school week, and how that would affect the concurrent classes for those students trying to gain their...
To the Editor:    Boy, am I getting tired of this ongoing turf battle/splitting contest between the city, county and sheriff’s office on the dispatch issue.    It seems like there needs to be much more honestly/openness/transparency and adult behavior from all parties involved in the squabble. I...
