Letter To The Editor: The Rock Springs Management Plan Isn't Perfect But It Should Still Happen
Dear editor: The RMP isn’t perfect, yet we appreciate the enormous task the BLM undertook to review and respond to tens of thousands of comments. Failing to finalize it would waste the years of hard work that many have invested in this planning effort.

Letter To The Editor: Trump Won -- Now Let Him Govern
Dear editor: Republicans’ rush to judgment on President Trump’s cabinet nominees is astonishing, irresponsible and hypocritical, but typical of a party that can never rally behind its leadership and govern with collective focus and clear purpose.

Letter To The Editor: The United Nations’ War on Israel
Dear editor: It is important to realize how far the U.N. has descended from the high hopes that civilized nations once held for it and how the U.N. is no longer a beacon of peace, international co-operation and hope but a cesspool of hatred, envy, dishonesty...

Letter To The Editor: Amendment A Would Bring Fairness To Wyoming Homeowners
Dear Editor: Amendment A is straightforward. It doesn’t overhaul the tax system; it simply allows for a more balanced approach. Right now, family homes—where people raise children, plan futures, and invest savings—are taxed like investment properties and vacation homes. That’s a mistake.

Letter To The Editor: Turning Wyoming Into California One Step At A Time
Dear editor: Isn't it wonderful that Casper was recognized as a destination retirement location. By all means advertise our beautiful state, but don't complain when you wake up one morning and wonder how you got to California.

Letter To The Editor: Planned Parenthood, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton And Adolph Hitler
Dear editor: How ironic that Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are claiming that Donald Trump is the second coming of Adolph Hitler?

Letter To The Editor: If Re-Elected, Trump Should Have More Control Over Federal Agencies
Dear editor: In response to Mr. DeGroot’s recent letter claiming that President Trump, if re-elected, wants more control over federal agencies, I say YES he darn well should.

Letter To The Editor: Do Not Let The Government Delist Grizzly Bears

Letter To The Editor: One Good Reason Not To Vote For Trump
Dear editor: There are many reasons not to vote for Donald Trump. High on the list is his intent to violate the constitutional tenet of separation of powers between the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government.

Letter To The Editor: A Vote For Harris/Walz Is A Vote Against America
Dear editor: Our local House and Senate Democrat candidates agree with Biden/Harris and Harris/Walz, thus to vote local Democrats into our legislature and to continue nationally with a Harris/Walz administration is delusional at best and extremely dangerous at worst.

Letter To The Editor: Reader Will Not Denigrate Celebration Of Grizzly 399's Life
Dear editor: In response to Susan Caraveau's emotional letter to "tree huggers and nature lovers," her bitter verbiage was more a case of making stuff up, expressed by a person who is not mindful of a much better world around us, here in Wyoming.

Letter To The Editor: The Bear Is Gone. What About The Driver?
Dear editor: To all those tree huggers and nature lovers, sh*t happens! There has not been one word written about the well-being of the unfortunate driver who accidentally hit the bear! Unbelievable!

Letter To The Editor: Maybe It's Time To Retire Some Counties
Dear editor: Doug Gerard’s letter of reluctant agreement with Tom Lubnau’s editorial opinion on Weston County’s insistence on having a State Senator is both funny and interesting.
CSD StaffOctober 24, 2024
Letter To The Editor: Tom Lubnau Is Actually Right On Something
Dear editor: Lubnau is right: you can't just pull legislative seats out of thin air like a magician at the county fair. Weston County's push for new representatives is like trying to lasso the wind — bold but bound to not catch much.

Letter To The Editor: Gary Brown Stands For The Republican Platform
Dear editor: Gary wanted to be a father and the person who he thought loved him, took that away from him. It devastated him, he now stands up any chance he can to fight for the lives of other unborn children and the men who want to be fathers but are never given that choice.
October 22, 2024
Letter To The Editor: Two Thumbs Down For Gary Brown For WY House District-41.
Dear editor: I am a fifth-generation Wyoming citizen, a parent of two Wyoming daughters, and a Republican. This is a critical time in our Wyoming’s history. I do not support Cheyenne resident Gary Brown for House District 41.

Letter To The Editor: Amendment A Gives Special Tax Breaks To A Select Group
Dear editor: It is best not to enable the Legislature to discriminate in favor of a select group of taxpayers -- ones who are actually likely to be better off than the rest -- and against others.
October 20, 2024
Letter To The Editor: God Bless Our Founding Fathers And Their Wisdom
Dear editor: If Mr. McEvoy does not like our system or the state of Wyoming. Then move! Go to California or New York or England. However, he would rather exercise his first amendment rights. Which is fine but you have a choice.

Letter to the Editor: Defending Mining Jobs Like Our Lives Depend On It, Because They Do
Dear editor: As if Wyoming hasn’t suffered enough from regulatory assault recently - think what the BLM is trying to do in the Southwest or the Powder River Basin - we’re facing yet another disastrous potential outcome.

Letter to the Editor: American Red Cross Of Wyoming Can Help You Be Prepared
Dear editor: Thank you for your recent article about the UW student who ran into a deer on Highway 287 and was left without a working vehicle and no cellphone service.

Letter To The Editor: Your Reader Has No Understanding What Fascism Is
Dear editor: Calling Trump a “fascist” when he has already been POTUS and didn’t do any of the things hyperbolic Democrats said would happen only underscores their state of hysteria and complete lack of understanding what fascism is.
October 17, 2024
Letter To The Editor: We Are On The Brink Of Facism
Dear editor: This election will be determined by a the same few swing states, not California! By law, Trump shouldn’t even be on the ballot, and yet here we are on the brink of fascism.
October 16, 2024
Letter To The Editor: If You Live In Wyoming, Get Your Plates In Wyoming
Dear editor: Those Montana plates in the northern part of Wyoming have become a huge problem as those tax dollars DO NOT pay for Wyoming roads or services, including fire fighters and first responders.

Letter To The Editor: Wind Turbines Are Destroying Wyoming
Dear editor: What used to be a beautiful drive across an expanse of high desert wilderness is now almost seeming a drive through white towers hoisting up giant bird-killing whirlygigs.
