Your committee's published agenda, per the state website, stated the following: “The Department of Insurance (DOI) will discuss statute updates and DOI supervision of the Employee Group Insurance (EGI).

The Committee will continue discussions regarding corporate shareholders and net metering. The second day the Committee will hear testimony and discuss municipal right-of-way fees, utility regulation and processes, coal fired plants, surface water drainage systems, wind farm development and generally discuss siting issues. Public comment will be heard on each topic.”

The most important thing about the Aug. 28 “Groping victim feels let down by cops, prosecutors, courts” article is that it allowed the victim to have a voice and the ability to speak out, as she was left feeling that “the system” fell short of providing some sense of closure to her.
Jackson Hole citizens have twice protected Wyoming from being downwind of deadly nuclear projects, like the plutonium incinerator planned for Idaho.
