What a Wyoming Election Judge Saw on Election Day

For years, I’ve enjoyed volunteering as an election judge in Laramie County, Wyoming (population 104,189). Almost two-thirds of us live in Cheyenne, the county seat and state capital. On Election Day, nearly 3,000 voted at Storey Gym, one of seven polling places scattered across Laramie County’s 2,688 square miles. I choose not to be paid, but the county offers election workers $16.00 an hour. Most of us work election days from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. All of us do it to support our system of democracy.

Joan Barron: The Big Blue Wave Skips Wyoming

CHEYENNE – Although the Democratic blue wave skipped Wyoming this year, it left a few dips as well as the sense that voters' political choices were shifting a tad. Overall though, Wyoming emerged as still a very red MAGA state backing President Donald Trump. The needle might be quivering a bit, but it still is very much where it has been stuck in recent years.

Cheyenne fourth graders write about meaning of Veterans Day

The following are letters to the editor written by fourth graders at Saddle Ridge Elementary School in Cheyenne. Their teachers are Saundra Moreno, Renee Kohlhagen and Amy Mullen. We’re proud to present a selection of these letters in this Veterans Day edition of the Wyoming Tribune Eagle and the entire class’s work online at WyomingNews.com. – Brian Martin, WTE managing editor I am Alexa G. and I go to Saddle Ridge Elementary. I am 9 years old and I am in 4 grade. I am writing this because some people think Memorial Day and Veterans Day are the same. Memorial Day is when you honor people that sadly passed in the war. Memorial Day is also when people go to graves and put flags on gravestones. Memorial Day was known as Decoration Day but was changed. Veterans Day is a day when we have people that survived in the armed forces. Veterans Day was used to be called Armistice Day. They changed it so it could honor all veterans. People wanted it to be a national holiday. Thank you for reading my letter about the difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day. Alexa G. My name is Alicia H. I

Council postpones vote on construction site rules amid data center noise-related concerns

CHEYENNE — Following extensive discussion over industrial noise standards and their potential impacts on data centers, construction businesses and other industrial operations, members of the Cheyenne City Council voted to postpone consideration of an amendment to the Unified Development Code regarding construction site rules. The ordinance, which was discussed at a council meeting Monday, would create two new sections of the UDC and amend three existing ones. The changes are intended to clarify requirements around establishing uses, including expectations for construction sites, while also addressing concerns about water use, lighting, noise and other impacts associated with large industrial developments. Much of the debate centered on proposed noise limits, which the document states should be 45 decibels in residential areas and 65 decibels everywhere else. Paul Steed, project manager for Mechanical Systems Inc., warned council members that lower noise thresholds could have unintended consequences for local businesses and construction projects. He said reducing allowable noise levels could require expensive mitigation measures, particularly near residential areas. Representatives from the data center industry also supported reasonable noise protections, but questioned whether the proposed standards were appropriate. Chris Tetlow, metro director for Microsoft in Cheyenne, urged council members to retain limits that currently apply
