Letter To The Editor: Clair McFarland's Marijuana Story Is A Real Bummer, Man
Dear editor: Clair McFarland's marijuana article reminds me of those dogs. Clair got a lot of opinions from state legislators about why they oppose any kind marijuana reform, but what she didn't get was any of those legislators talking about what the people of Wyoming want.

Letter To The Editor: Our Delegation Is Horrible And Trump Is Even Worse
Dear editor: I am extremely frustrated that Wyoming keeps electing people that do not follow the rule of law. Barrasso and Lummis are basically Trump's puppets at this point and do not have much backbone at all.

Letter To The Editor: Mental Health Is Not A Lack Of Faith
Dear editor: To say that government shouldn’t be in the business of emotional or spiritual well-being misses the point. Supporting mental health isn’t about replacing faith. It’s about giving them the tools, access, and dignity they need to become whole again.
