Bill Sniffin: If You Had Your Life To Live Over, What Would You Change?

Columnist Bill Sniffin writes: “Folks a certain age start looking back on their lives and wonder just how much differences they could have made. What if you could live your life over?”

Dave Simpson: That Friendly Wave That Reassures

Columnist Dave Simpson writes, "Great to be spending some quality time out in Wave Country again this summer. Wave County is anywhere far enough out in the boonies that when you meet an oncoming vehicle, the driver acknowledges your existence with a wave..."

Cassie Craven: School Choice Is About Helping Students, Not Systems

Columnist Cassie Craven writes, “The Wyoming Education Association plays victim in its lawsuit. It decries the scholarship with fundamental critique of how the capitalist system has this inherent tendency toward inequality and exploitation. How very Marxist.”

Gail Symons: That Federal Lands Measure Would Have Betrayed Wyoming

Columnist Gail Symons writes: "Supporters of this plan spoke of affordable housing and local control. Let’s call that what it is: a smokescreen. This bill wouldn’t have solved Wyoming’s housing crisis. It would create playgrounds for the wealthy."

Joan Barron: The Night The Shah Of Iran Was Toppled

Columnist Joan Barron writes, “'The shah is dead,' the young guys yelled as they ran in the hallways of the dorm. They were Iranians. And they were joyous — jumping up and down joyous.”

Dennis Sun: The Trust Of The Consumer

Ag columnist Dennis Sun writes, "It is especially important these days with the high price of beef and lamb, as consumers want to know more about the meat they eat and, to an extent, where it came from."

Bill Sniffin: Bad National Forest Rules Opened Door To Wildfires  - They Were Just Overturned!

Columnist Bill Sniffin writes: “I watched as bad Clinton-Gore-Babbitt forest policies set the stage for waste and horrible forest conditions in our national forest next door. It was truly malpractice.”

Tom Lubnau: At This Point, House Appropriations Members Should Just Go Full Clown Show

Columnist Tom Lubnau writes: "Wyoming needs serious-minded people who are not using the committee meetings as campaign stunts, but as gatherings to conduct the serious business of the state. We do not need a clown show."

Dave Simpson: They're At It Again In Laramie

Columnist Dave Simpson writes, “If veins are popping out of your neck because you hate Trump so much, you might consider seeing a cardiologist. Hatred like this for 10 years can't be good for your ticker.”

Cassie Craven: You Can Live The Founders' Vision In Your Daily Life

Columnist Cassie Craven writes, “Our founders not only anticipated tyranny, they predicted its proliferation; and prescribed a dose of duty to inoculate future Americans against it."

Gail Symons: The Big Gun Bill Vs. Grassroots Governance

Columnist Gail Symons writes, "Don’t miss the irony. By repealing local discretion, the gun-zones bill doesn’t expand freedom. It concentrates decision-making into the hands of a few state legislators rather than the communities directly affected."
