Tomorrow's Tribune: 8-18

A peak at tomorrow's paper, using quotes that didn't make the cut...

“When you hear people saying, ‘I hate government programs, but keep your hands off my Medicare’ then there's a little bit of a contradiction there,” President Barack Obama at a town hall meeting in Belgrade, Mont., on Friday. In pressing his case for health care reform, Obama argued that previously controversial reforms have proven popular over time. The Tribune was there to cover the president trip's out west, and we've got a story on page one.

“Actually, my name is Norm Simpson. When I come to Cody, I really want to take advantage of being the shorter half of this family,” former Secretary of Transportation Norm Mineta, speaking about his 65-year relationship with former U.S. Senator Alan Simpson. The two met as young Boy Scouts at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center, where Mineta's family was sent to live in 1942. The friends spoke at a progress party at the center Saturday. A recap on the front.

“A year later they have no idea they checked it or why you’re calling them,” Kelly Jensen, Park County Clerk, explaining why she'd like to expand the county's pool of possible election judges. When registering to vote, many folks check the box stating they'd be willing to be a judge, but when the time comes to actually serve, Jensen said, they've totally forgotten about it. The call for more judges on page five.
