Letter to the Editor
To the Editor:
Taxes are the rent we pay for the privilege of living in an organized social environment. Taxes have been around since mankind started to live in any kind of ordered environment. Tax collectors have been reviled since Biblical times and probably before.
Everyone wants to live in...
Sometimes money makes us poor. When I think about our state and the communities across it, I feel truly thankful to live here where family, friends, hard work, and handshakes still mean the world to us. Our riches don’t come from money, they come from each other, the land we live on, and the...
To the Editor:
If you hunt, camp, hike, trail ride or lease on public land you will be affected by the revisions proposed by the Bureau of Land Management. Locking the public off public land is no longer an issue of the future. It is today.
The promise is on the U.S. Department of Interior...

Tonight (Wednesday, April 12) I tried to speak during Mr. Brad LaCroix’s superintendent report. The Weston County School District No. 1 Board was speaking about the four-day school week, and how that would affect the concurrent classes for those students trying to gain their...
To the Editor:
Boy, am I getting tired of this ongoing turf battle/splitting contest between the city, county and sheriff’s office on the dispatch issue.
It seems like there needs to be much more honestly/openness/transparency and adult behavior from all parties involved in the squabble. I...
