Recount The only race that came close enough to require a recount was the Hulett trustee race for Crook County School District. The top two candidates for th...
Crook County’s thoughts on the two constitutional amendments that appeared on last week’s ballot were broadly reflected by voters across the state. Like local voters, Wyoming as a whole supported the idea of allowing towns invest money in stocks, but did not support increasing the retirement age for judges.

Dear Editor, I appreciate Buck Bock’s letter to the editor in last week’s Sundance Times. There are a few factual errors that perhaps need to be addressed.

So, I could not have cast a vote had I actuall...
