Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray has been traveling around the state in recent weeks, talking about overhauls to elections in Wyoming.

As he makes his rounds, Gray has said a major rewrite of election codes in Wyoming has not happened since 1973. In the 2025 general session, lawmakers filed 45 election-related bills. Only eight bills made it to the governor’s desk. Seven became law.

On Thursday at a news conference held on the ground floor of the State Capitol Building, Gray discussed an election integrity legislative agenda for the 2026 session. Protecting women sports and banning sanctuary cities and counties are at the top of Gray’s list of legislative reforms.

The legislative session is set to begin on Monday, February 9.

Gray considers sanctuary cites a political virus of sorts that started in liberal states like California and Massachusetts. These states limit or deny local cooperation with national immigration enforcement efforts. Teton County has denied the accusation.

The Democrat-heavy County in northwestern Wyoming was targeted in the 2025 session with House Bill 276, which would have required sheriff deputies to act as immigration enforcers.

Gray also spoke at Thursday’s news conference about opposing what he describes as “woke wind energy projects” in Converse and Niobrara Counties.

The developers of the proposed Seminoe Pumped Storage Facility respond to questions and criticisms about the project.

As reported by Bigfoot99, Utah‑based rPlus Hydro is pursuing a large‑scale infrastructure project at Seminoe Reservoir. The energy company has proposed building a 13,000-acre-foot man‑made lake on top of nearby Bennett Mountain, connected to the existing reservoir by a 1,000‑foot underground tunnel. During periods of high energy production, water would be pumped from Seminoe Reservoir into the upper lake. When demand outpaces production, the water would flow back downhill through an underground turbine, generating electricity.

Speaking at the November 4th Board of Carbon County Commissioners meeting, rPlus Hydro Managing Director of Hydro Strategy Matthew Shapiro reported that filling the man-made upper lake would draw 14,000 acre-feet from Seminoe Reservoir, with an additional 400 acre-feet per year to offset evaporation losses.

Speaking to Bigfoot99, Shapiro explained the numbers he presented to the Commissioners were drastically overstated. Instead of losing 400 acre‑feet of water a year to evaporation, the upper lake would lose 272 acre‑feet, a 32 percent reduction. Additionally, Shapiro said filling the upper lake will lower the water level of Seminoe Reservoir, further reducing overall evaporative loss.

Shapiro said as part of its agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation and Casper Alcova Irrigation District, rPlus Hydro is paying for the water lost by normal evaporation as well as any additional loss from the project itself.

The Seminoe Pumped Storage Project is slated to occupy nearly 1,026 acres of Bureau of Land Management land, 77 acres under the Bureau of Reclamation, and 830 acres of private property. Much of that land is home to the Ferris-Seminoe Bighorn Sheep Herd Unit. In the most recent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission environmental impact statement, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department noted that construction noise, vibrations, and lighting could disturb the herd and recommended limiting work to a four‑month window, from May through August.

Hydro Strategy Managing Director Shapiro said that following Game and Fish recommendations would drive up project costs and lengthen the construction schedule, ultimately causing greater disturbance to the bighorn sheep.

To reduce the impact of construction on the Ferris‑Seminoe Bighorn Sheep Herd Unit, Shapiro said rPlus Hydro is considering relocating the project’s spoil piles and concrete plant. Instead of the originally proposed site in the Red Hills area 3.7 miles away, the company has identified a location roughly half that distance on Bureau of Reclamation land.

Shapiro said rPlus has filed new documents with FERC outlining plans for stricter traffic controls, noise reduction, and speed limits to minimize the impact on bighorn sheep in the area. rPlus has also agreed to move the intake structure’s build site farther away from the nearby state park.

Because of those newly proposed mitigation efforts, Shapiro said the energy company is asking the Bureau of Land Management to permit year-round construction.

Despite moving the spoilage and concrete plant off BLM land and onto Bureau of Reclamation property, Shapiro said enough of the project remains on BLM land to still require those seasonal‑restriction waivers. The hydro strategy managing director added that the environmental impacts will stop once construction is complete.

rPlus Hydro must also secure a visual resource management waiver from the Bureau of Land Management. Shapiro explained that the proposed upper‑reservoir site is designated as a Class II visual resource management area, meaning BLM’s objective is to keep the landscape’s character largely intact. A class reduction will likely be required for the project to continue.

Opponents say the Seminoe Pumped Storage Project could harm the Miracle Mile. Shapiro said state and federal agencies will not allow the project to negatively affect the world‑class blue ribbon trout fishery. rPlus Hydro commissioned a water‑temperature study of the North Platte River, specifically below Kortes Dam, which Shapiro said showed no measurable effect, or at most a slight benefit to the area.

To ensure the models reflect real‑world conditions, Shapiro said rPlus will continuously monitor water temperatures in both the Seminoe Reservoir and Miracle Mile throughout the life of the project. If the facility is ever shown to raise water temperatures, operations will be scaled back until levels return to normal.

Shapiro said project opponents claim the facility will draw tens of thousands of walleye from Seminoe Reservoir into the intake pipe. The managing director said rPlus has instituted three safety measures to minimize entrainment.

Should the project come to fruition, rPlus Hydro will need to secure a buyer for the electricity. The company is in talks with PacifiCorp to connect the facility to the Aeolus Substation northeast of Medicine Bow. Project opponents say the power will be sent out of state, specifically to the West Coast. Shapiro said that in its current configuration, the electricity would stay somewhere in the Mountain West, not California.

Shapiro said Wyoming’s peak power demand is currently about 4,000 megawatts and is expected to rise as large data centers come online. The hydro strategy managing director added that no matter where in the Mountain West the electricity is ultimately delivered, the Seminoe Pumped Storage Facility will strengthen the state’s grid reliability.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is accepting online public comments on the project until 3:00 p.m. Mountain Time on Friday, January 2nd. Many local officials, including the Board of Carbon County Commissioners, are asking for more time. Shapiro said rPlus Hydro is open to extending the comment period.

The Hanna Parks and Recreation Board will host a Christmas parade this Saturday, with a fireworks display planned afterwards.

At the November 12th Hanna Town Council meeting, the governing body discussed the Parks and Recreation Board’s December 20th Christmas parade. As part of the festivities, the Board proposed a fireworks display at the baseball fields east of the shuttered Hanna Recreation Center. Mayor Charlie George announced that the Board arranged for Medicine Bow Volunteer Fire Department training officer Ed Standish to set up and oversee the show. Although Standish is not a licensed pyrotechnician, he has previously hosted fireworks displays in Medicine Bow. Mayor George added that the Hanna Fire Department has approved the event.

The Town Council explained that the fireworks show can only take place if the ground is damp and winds remain light. Councilwoman Ellen Freeman asked what would happen if weather forced a cancelation. Town Clerk Vivian Gonzales said the pyrotechnics could be stored and used during next summer’s King Coal Days.

The governing body approved the Parks and Recreation Board’s Christmas parade, with a fireworks display to follow, weather permitting.

The following month, during its December 9th meeting, the Hanna Town Council was presented with a $1,000 invoice from Bandit Fireworks of Wamsutter. Councilman Sam Sikes asked where the money would come from. Treasurer Ann Calvert said she would draw from the community events account, adding that a Bandit Fireworks representative agreed to provide the best show possible for the agreed upon price.

The Town Council reiterated that Medicine Bow Volunteer Fire Department training officer Ed Standish will be setting off the fireworks. Additionally, the pyrotechnics display will be canceled if there is no snow on the ground.

The governing body approved the $1,000 fireworks invoice.

If weather allows, the fireworks display will cap off the Parade of Lights. For a $10 entry fee, participants may decorate vehicles and trailers with Christmas lights and ornaments.

The parade is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. on December 20th, beginning at Hanna Town Hall and ending at the recreation center on 2nd Street. Following the procession, the festivities will continue at Mike’s Deuces, located at 204 Adams Street, with hay-rides and cookies.

In Rawlins, the governing body voted to increase the city’s financial contribution to the proposed North Higley Boulevard pedestrian underpass.

For two decades, Rawlins officials have worked with the Wyoming Department of Transportation to improve pedestrian safety along the 287 bypass, also known as North Higley Boulevard. Following extensive studies, the Rawlins Urban Systems Committee and WYDOT determined that an underground walking tunnel was the most effective and cost-efficient solution. The tunnel, when completed, will allow pedestrians to travel between the Highland Hills residential area and nearby school campuses without having to cross the busy highway.

In 2022, the city signed a contract with WYDOT to construct the pedestrian underpass for $1,506,659, with the city pledging to cover 9.51% of the total project cost, amounting to $158,341.

Since that time, construction prices skyrocketed during the Joe Biden Administration, and they’re not getting cheaper.

This past February, WYDOT informed the city that contractor bids came in much higher than anticipated, with the lowest bid being $3,332,767, or approximately $1.8 million over the originally agreed upon price.

Due to the higher-than-expected costs, WYDOT advised the City Council to reject the bids and wait for better pricing. In the meantime, the state agency redesigned the project to reduce expenses and increased its share of the overall cost. In August, WYDOT presented the City of Rawlins with a revised construction estimate of $2,265,225. Under the new agreement, Rawlins is responsible for $306,073 of the total price.

In September, the Rawlins City Council voted to accept the revised costs and set aside up to $410,000 for the project. Councilman Sanger questioned the difference between the city’s required $306,000 share and the $410,000 allocation. Public Works Director Cody Dill said that if the city withdraws from the project, it must reimburse WYDOT for engineering expenses, estimated at $407,000. Dill added that the higher cap safeguards the city if costs exceed projections and the project is canceled.

The governing body approved the maximum project costs and WYDOT began soliciting contractor bids.

At its December 16th meeting, the Rawlins City Council approved raising the city’s maximum contribution to the North Higley Boulevard pedestrian underpass to $423,946. Public Works Director Cody Dill explained that the earlier figure relied on outdated construction estimates, and revised pricing has increased the city’s required share by nearly $14,000.

Documents provided by the city show that Cheyenne‑based Reiman Corporation submitted the lowest bid at $2,291,111.25. Including the engineering fees, the total cost is now $3,256,650. WYDOT pledged $2,832,686 toward the project, leaving the city responsible for a maximum of $423,946.

The governing body approved raising the city’s maximum allocation for the North Higley Boulevard pedestrian underpass. Councilman Derek Elliot cast the lone dissenting vote but did not explain his decision. The project is scheduled for completion by October 31st, 2026.

The St. Vincent de Paul Society will be distributing free Christmas food baskets in Rawlins this Saturday.

Saint Vincent de Paul was a French Catholic priest who lived in the late 1500s. Known for his compassion and dedication to serving the poor, Saint Vincent de Paul became the patron saint of charitable societies, hospitals, and prisoners.

The Rawlins St. Vincent de Paul Society honors the legacy of its namesake by helping those in need, offering free food baskets to local families. Society President Mary Kay Albrechtson announced that on Saturday, December 20th, the Catholic charity will distribute free Christmas food baskets. Albrechtson said everyone is welcome to receive a basket by visiting the school behind St. Joseph’s Catholic Church at 219 West Spruce Street between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

Albrechtson explained that the baskets contain everything needed for a spaghetti dinner on Christmas Eve. Recipients will also receive their choice of meat for a traditional Christmas Day dinner.

Albrechtson added that each basket will also contain an extra surprise item, but she wanted to keep the contents a secret to preserve the holiday spirit.

The St. Vincent de Paul Society president said the baskets are available for everyone, with no restrictions.

Additionally, Mike Lujan, owner of Michael’s Big City Steakhouse in Rawlins, is providing free Christmas presents for children in need. Albrechtson said families may call Lujan with the child’s age and address, and he will ensure they receive a gift.

The St. Vincent de Paul Society will be distributing free Christmas food baskets this Saturday, December 10th, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. behind St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, located at 219 West Pine Street in Rawlins. After the distribution, the Society will be closed until Monday, January 5th, to give volunteers time to enjoy the holidays with their families.

Carbon County officials expressed gratitude to HF Sinclair for donating emergency preparedness equipment.

During the December 16th Commissioners meeting, Emergency Manager Lenny Layman told the board that he had been in contact with HF Sinclair Community Relations Administrator Annette Penman about a donated Starlink system. Developed by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Starlink is a satellite‑based internet service that provides high‑speed access to remote areas. Layman explained that he relied on Natrona County’s Starlink system during the March power outage and, finding it highly effective, reached out to Penman to secure a donation from the refinery.

Layman said after attending several meetings with the HF Sinclair grant team, the refinery awarded him $12,000 to purchase a commercial grade Starlink system. The county emergency manager explained that the self‑contained unit can be deployed wherever needed, delivering internet access to more than 230 users within a half‑mile radius.

In addition to the Starlink system itself, Layman also used the HF Sinclair donation to purchase an EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 portable power unit. The emergency manager said the battery pack can keep Starlink running for over 48 hours.

Layman also purchased a 450-watt portable solar panel. The emergency manager said the solar array can connect to the battery pack, automatically recharging it in roughly five hours.

Using the power unit and solar panel together, Layman said the county can provide off‑grid communications for 235 users, almost indefinitely.

Next, IT Director Matt Webster explained that Layman proposed routing the county network through Starlink during an internet outage. Webster said he believes the plan may work and will begin compatibility testing in the new year.

Following the IT Director’s comments, Sheriff Alex Bakken explained that he requested a grant from HF Sinclair to purchase a smaller Starlink system. Sheriff Bakken said deputies could deploy the portable devices in parts of the county lacking reliable communications coverage.

Sheriff Bakken described Starlink as a game changer.

Emergency Manager Lenny Layman said that HF Sinclair staff will test the system to determine if it can supplement refinery communications during an outage.

HF Sinclair Community Relations Administrator Annette Penman thanked Emergency Manager Layman and Sheriff Bakken, adding that refinery staff will coordinate with them to arrange the Starlink test.

Commission Chairman Travis Moore thanked HF Sinclair for helping make Carbon County safer for all residents.

HF Sinclair also donated $6,000 to the City of Rawlins to purchase equipment for the Rawlins Junior Golf program.

Photo – Library – Bigfoot99 file photo

The Board of Commissioners will inform municipalities that the county is not responsible for any library closures.

Recent property tax relief measures have drastically reduced local government revenue this fiscal year. Carbon County lost roughly $500,000 in residential property taxes, forcing budget cuts across all outside agencies, including museums and senior centers. As a result, the Carbon County Library System lost 53% of its county funding. In response, the Public Library Board reduced hours at all seven branches and warned that the Hanna and Medicine Bow libraries could be closed by the first of the year.

On Tuesday morning, the Board of Carbon County Commissioners reviewed a letter from the Town of Medicine Bow regarding the potential closure of its local library. Commissioner Sue Jones clarified that the county is not responsible for managing individual branches. Commissioner Jones said towns help by covering utilities, but closing a branch is entirely up to the Library Board.

While the letter wasn’t read into the record, Commissioner Jones said Medicine Bow officials appeared confused about the authority the county has over the library system. Thanks to the financial contributions of the towns, the Carbon County Public Library Board pays nothing to maintain its seven individual branches.

Commissioner Sue Jones said she shared the letter with Carbon County Public Library Board Chairwoman Adelaide Myers, who promised to meet with officials in Medicine Bow and Hanna to discuss ways to preserve their branches.

County Attorney Ashley Davis suggested directing Medicine Bow to take its concerns directly to the Library Board rather than the county. Commission Vice Chairwoman Gwynn Bartlett recommended sending the same message to every town with a library. The commissioners agreed, instructing Attorney Davis to draft a letter to the municipalities clarifying that the county has no say in the closure of any library branches.

The Carbon County Sheriff’s Office has agreed to patrol the Town of Baggs for a set fee. County officials say the amount is too low.

Small municipalities across the country are struggling to fund and staff their own police departments. In Carbon County, the Town of Medicine Bow recently dissolved its marshal’s department due to a lack of funding. Hanna faced difficulties finding law enforcement officers willing to serve for the admittedly low pay. Combined with insufficient financial support, Hanna is now patrolled by two part‑time marshals.

The Town of Baggs does not have its own dedicated police department, instead relying on the Carbon County Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement coverage. At Tuesday morning’s Board of Carbon County Commissioners meeting, Sheriff Alex Bakken announced that he and the Baggs Town Council had reached a memorandum of understanding. For $21,000 a year, the Sheriff’s Office will patrol the town and respond to local calls for service. Sheriff Bakken said the agreement is similar to one between his department and the Town of Riverside.

Sheriff Bakken continued, saying he doesn’t like to charge municipalities for law enforcement coverage. However, the sheriff said he is legally required to responsibly manage county funds. By entering into the memorandum of understanding, Sheriff Bakken explained, the town is sharing the cost of emergency response with his department.

Sheriff Bakken said the Baggs Town Council has already agreed to the memorandum of understanding and urged the Board of Commissioners to do the same. The sheriff added that he does not expect to use the agreements to pressure towns into supplementing his department’s budget. A municipal police department is always the best option. However, because of the high cost of providing law enforcement services, Sheriff Bakken said towns cannot always afford to maintain their own departments. In those cases, the municipality should contribute to the protection of their residents.

Commission Vice Chairwoman Gwynn Bartlett said that under the memorandum of understanding, Baggs is effectively paying $90 an hour for sheriff’s deputies to patrol the town. Vice Chair Bartlett added that the Sheriff’s Office cannot provide law enforcement for the entire county at that rate.

Sheriff Bakken agreed, saying no municipality in the state would fund its own police department if it could rely on the county sheriff for coverage at a significantly lower cost. The sheriff cautioned that charging towns the full price of law enforcement may be too much to ask.

Vice Chair Bartlett said towns that previously funded their own police departments should understand the true cost of law enforcement coverage.

Commissioner Sue Jones said municipalities are statutorily required to provide police protection for their residents. Commissioner Jones said contracting with the Sheriff’s Office is far more cost effective than funding a municipal police department.

Commissioner Jones said that directing residents to simply call the Sheriff’s Office in an emergency does not meet that statutory requirement.

Sheriff Bakken agreed that towns should contribute financially to law enforcement coverage, noting that the memorandums of understanding are reviewed annually to ensure each municipality is paying an appropriate price. However, the sheriff cautioned that requiring them to pay the full amount upfront could cause municipalities to withdraw from the agreements, to the detriment of their residents.

Commissioner Jones noted that market value is still less than the cost of a municipal police department. Additionally, even under the agreements, the Carbon County Sheriff’s Office is unable to enforce local ordinances, such as noise or property code violations.

Sheriff Bakken said he ensures the towns understand the limitations of the memorandums of understanding, acknowledging that the agreements are the best alternative to a municipal police department.

Sheriff Bakken explained that deputies will always respond to 911 emergencies, whether or not a town has a memorandum of understanding with his department. The agreements are simply a way to ensure municipalities contribute financially to their own law enforcement coverage.

Sheriff Bakken clarified that without an agreement, deputies will only respond to imminent emergency calls, such as life‑threatening situations. Under the memorandum of understanding, deputies will spend set amounts of time in each town, patrolling and addressing residents’ concerns.

The Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the law enforcement services memorandum of understanding with the Town of Baggs.

The City of Rawlins recognized its Assistant Finance Director as Employee of the Quarter.

Assistant Finance Director Beverly Hannum was named the Employee of the Third Quarter during the December 2nd Rawlins City Council meeting.

The Rawlins Employee of the Quarter award is presented four times a year to an employee recognized by co‑workers and supervisors for outstanding performance. Speaking at the December 2nd meeting, Finance Director Laura Malone announced that Assistant Finance Director Beverly Hannum was selected as this quarter’s award recipient.

Malone, who was hired as the city’s finance director last month, explained that during the time the position was vacant, Hannum stepped into the role. Malone said Hannum went above and beyond the duties of her position to ensure the city completed all legally required financial audits.

Malone said Hannum managed the finance department effectively in the absence of a Finance Director, assisting city staff across the board. Malone added that, thanks to Hannum’s hard work, all financial documents were completed on time.

Malone said for her leadership, dedication, and positive presence, Hannum was chosen as Employee of the Third Quarter. Award winners receive a $300 bonus and have their names inscribed on a permanent plaque displayed in Rawlins City Hall.

Medicine Bow officials are looking at new ways to enforce local ordinances.

In 2019, the Town of Medicine Bow used $1 million of impact assistance funding from nearby wind projects to establish a marshal’s department. Until that point, the town depended on the Carbon County Sheriff’s Office to respond to every law enforcement call.

However, the money began to run out as the department’s expenses ballooned, with additional deputies and what the current Town Council later described as wasteful spending of more than $22,000 a month. In early 2024, the governing body made the difficult decision to close the department, returning law enforcement to the sheriff’s office.

At a special budget workshop in February 2024, Mayor Justin George explained that the marshal’s department had a little over $200,000 left in its account. Mayor George said at its current rate of spending, the budget would be depleted in less than a year.

Mayor George said the money left in the marshal’s budget would be better allocated to other town offices, and the governing body voted to dissolve the department.

The closure of the Medicine Bow Marshal’s Office has left the town without anyone authorized to enforce local ordinances, such as animal control laws and property maintenance codes. The Carbon County Sheriff’s Office can only issue citations for violations of state statutes.

During the December 8th Medicine Bow Town Council meeting, an attendee asked if the town had any provisions against barking dogs. Mayor George explained that while Medicine Bow lacks a specific noise ordinance, it does have nuisance regulations. However, none of the town’s ordinances can be enforced by the county sheriff. The mayor said he and Town Attorney Cameron Smith are working with Municipal Judge Daniel Massey to develop ways to enforce local codes.

The same person attending the meeting asked if a group of concerned citizens could report code violations they witness to town hall. Mayor George said the governing body had considered a similar idea but found that the council can perform the same function. The mayor added that he and Municipal Judge Massey are exploring how to make that process work.

The problem, Mayor George said, is that local ordinances were either not enforced or enforced unevenly in the past. The mayor said before enforcement can begin the governing body must ensure the ordinances apply equally to all residents.

In the meantime, Mayor George encouraged the attendee to speak to their neighbor about the barking dog.
