Gov. Mark Gordon signed an executive order yesterday — aiming to improve forest health and reduce wildfire risk across Wyoming.
On July 31, WYDOT updated its Buffalo Main Street project, noting that traffic on South Main at the Cemetery Creek Culvert is detoured to the east so motorists must go slowly (the detour has a dip and curve) while pedestrians avoid the route.
South Main from the Bypass to Brock Street will be closed today from 8 a.m. until the end of the parade, which starts at Parmalee Street and turns west on Fort Street; epoxy work downtown is delayed while utility upgrades on North Main are expected to finish in the coming weeks.
The city council is set to vote on updates to the general purpose excise tax agreement that require organizations to include an explanation of public purpose—this change clarifies that GPET funds are only available after council approval.
Senator Cynthia Lummis + Representative Harriet Hageman today introduced the Endangered Species Recovery Act in Washington, a bill that would rename the Endangered Species Act to better reflect its goal of recovering species and returning management control to local agencies.
