A peek at tomorrow's paper using quotes that didn't make the cut...
“There is a thrill for politicians to say, ‘I don’t speak for anybody but the taxpayer,’” former U.S. Senator Al Simpson, speaking to Park County commissioners on Tuesday. He was arguing that as elected officials, the commission needs to look beyond popular budget trimming and also craft a vision for the county's future. “They (voters) aren’t expecting, ‘When in doubt, vote no,’” Simpson added. Specifically, the ex-senator was lobbying the commission to help fund commercial flights to the Cody airport. How the commissioners were persuaded to give $28,000 is below the fold.
“When we get to election time, they’re going to ask what we did for additional economic development,” City Councilman John Wetzel, laying out his belief that voters expect the City of Powell to support local business. The council upped the amount of money given to the Powell Valley Chamber of Commerce this year, along with approving a number of special funding requests. A breakdown of it all on page one.
“You haven’t tried mine,” Sheriff Scott Steward, jokingly claiming that his home-cooked biscuits and gravy are better than those served at the Park County Detention Center. While the sheriff can try asserting superior tastiness, he likely can't beat the jail's price tag -- roughly $1.89 per meal. Read about how the detention center is tightening its fiscal belt on the county page.
