Jonathan Lange: Gordon Ignored Weston Clerk's Report; Attorney General Must Step Up

Columnist Jonathan Lange writes," Gordon whiffed his chance to signal the importance of strict adherence to election laws. But the AG is about to step up to the plate. Whether he prosecutes the alleged crimes or not will speak volumes."

Tom Lubnau: Chuck Gray Uses East-Coast Political Tactics 

Columnist Tom Lubnau writes, "The words Chuck Gray deployed last week against the governor match many of his past comments. They sound like focus-group-tested terms, manufactured to win political advantage. The people of Wyoming can see through this."

Cassie Craven: Who Are The Majority Of Wyomingites Listening To?

Columnist Cassie Craven writes, “As for the situation with Gov. Gordon and Sec. Gray, I think the winner of that round goes to the individual with whom most Wyomingites agree. The Lusk town hall sent a pretty clear message on that one."

Gail Symons: Cutting Local Officials' Groups Would Slip More Power To The State

Columnist Gail Symons writes: "If local governments are weakened, their support systems and collective voices dismantled, then a small number of ideological actors get to fill the vacuum. That’s not protecting the people. That’s silencing them."

Columnist Joan Barron writes, "What was a shocker was the sudden attack on the tax money local governments spend to get representations from the such organizations as the Wyoming Association of Municipalities and the Wyoming County Commissioners Association."

Dave Simpson: Don't Look Now, But Eggs Are Down

Columnist Dave Simpson writes, “We should be whipping up tasty omelets for breakfast, baking cakes and feasting on egg-salad sandwiches in celebration. Maybe Trump had something to do with it. Maybe not. Whatever.”
