The individual would not be full time, and they would not have benefits. Plus, they do have a vehicle for that person. This would help with dog issues and to generally help the community to feel safe. Mayor Clark has...
Dear Editor, I am writing to address the article published in the Wyoming Tribune Eagle regarding Kay Dersham’s recent resignation from Laramie County School District #2. One would assume that if Kay genuinely believed the COVID protocols and practices that she insisted upon for the children of LCSD #2, she would practice them at school and in her personal life. However, because Kay lives in our community, I can tell you she most certainly did not. We have unelected bureaucrats from Anthony Fauci down to the local health board, who have r...

I know some of you are saying, "Yuk!" but don't discount crabapples. Although nearly all crabapples are edible that doesn't that...
