Tomorrow's Tribune: 6-25

A sneak peak at tomorrow's Tribune using quotes that didn't make the cut...

“It’s like having the court declare slavery was a bad idea: it doesn’t change anything,” Copperleaf-retained attorney Laurence Stinson, arguing that since the controversial Wapiti subdivision is complete, lawsuits against its creation are irrelevant. The District Court rejected Stinson's argument that the case was moot, but sided with him and Copperleaf on the case's merits. A better explanation and some reactions on page 1.

“I didn't say that.” “I didn't.” “We didn't say that.” Park County Commissioners Tim French, Dave Burke and Bucky Hall disowning responsibility for the ongoing 50-cent per-phone per-month surchage for Enhanced 911 service. Fellow Commissioner Jill Shockley Siggins had mentioned that when she was on the board in 1996, she and other commissioners had said it would be a one-time fee. On Tuesday, Shockley Siggins suggested E911 service be covered under the general county budget this year, but the other commissioners disagreed. Read a bit about what's actually in next year's preliminary budget on page 5.

“Reminiscing, we’d say that a great deal was taken from us, in personal liberty and in material things; but somehow, we feel that we’ve gained something precious from this experience. We don’t know what it is exactly, but we’ll probably find out in three, five, or ten years from now,” Heart Mountain Relocation Center internee John Kitasako, writing in the May 27, 1943 Powell Tribune about his first year of internment as a Japanese American during World War II. Tomorrow, inside the regular Trib, we're putting out our 68-page centennial edition.
