Nordic Ski Trail Grooming Report – January 14, 2022 (posted 1/14/2022)
Mike Looney, Groomer
Friday, Jan. 14, 2022, 9:15AM: Old Road Trail, Upper Surveyor, Moose Ridge, Flatline, Tree Loop, and Elkhart Park Road all groomed this morning. 23F degrees. Sun is out – looks to be a glorious day. Due to the long, dry spell in the forecast, would be very helpful if everyone would pitch the dog poo off the trails. Reminder to fat bikers to ride on the opposite side of the trail from the classic track.

Nordic Ski Trail Grooming Report – January 12, 2022 (posted 1/12/2022)
Mike Looney, Groomer
Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022, 9:30AM: CCC Pond trails groomed nicely this morning Flat groomed trail at the new ball fields. About 14" or so of snow at these locations. Light snow, packs down, should both be firm and should be nice skiing. Several fat tire bikes were ridden on Kelly Park and Tie In, Old Road Trail and new trail causing significant damage to middle of the trail. To all fat bike riders, please don’t ride down the middle of the trail. Please stay 2-4 feet off the edge of the trail on the opposite side from the classic trail. That will likely be the firmest part of the trail and you will have a more pleasant ride and cause the least amount of damage. If trail snow conditions are soft, please don’t go on the groomed ski trails. You have tires, please ride on the road. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sublette County Patrol Sergeant Jack Killey retires (posted 1/10/2022)
20 years of serving Wyoming
Sublette County Sheriff’s Office
Sergeant Jack Killey began his career in public service in 1979 where he was a paramedic in Denver. He later moved to the Casper area and was a life flight medic until 2001. From 1985 to 1990 he was a public safety officer, fire fighter, and EMT in the Casper area. In 2001, Jack began working for Casper Police Department and left there in 2007 to work with the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation where he was later stationed in Pinedale. He then worked with the drug task force and DCI field office in Pinedale until 2016. Jack has served with our office since that time, promoting to shift Sergeant in 2018. During his tenure in Sublette County, Sergeant Killey was a well-respected and knowledgeable member of our team. He was dubbed by the Sheriff as "The most interesting man in the world" - for good reason. Jack brought years of expertise in public service, medical knowledge, and law enforcement discipline to our office and everyone who had the chance to work with Jack, benefited from his experience, guidance, and leadership.
We would like to share with our community in congratulating and celebrating Jack on his retirement as his daughter had the privilege of calling him off duty on his final shift, New Year’s Eve. We want to express our deepest gratitude to Jack for his commitment to this office and the sacrifice he has made to our Country, the State of Wyoming, and to the citizens of Sublette County. We wish Jack all the best and a very relaxing and well-deserved retirement! Thank you! Sergeant Jack Killey.

If you have the energy and some extra time, consider helping local firefighters before an emergency by making sure the fire hydrants near your home are cleared of deep snow.
Wyoming Legislature update – January 10, 2022 (posted 1/10/2022)
Albert Sommers, House District #22 Representative
1/10/22
Hello Sublette County, this is Albert Sommers reporting to you from interim work of the 66th Legislature. The Joint Corporations Committee met on December 28 in Cheyenne. I do not serve on this committee, but I attended the meeting to protect Sublette County’s interests in redistricting. On January 6, I attended the Management Council meeting in Cheyenne.
Every 10 years, each state uses the federal census to apportion members of its state legislature. Changes to apportionment after a census is called redistricting, and the Wyoming Legislature is in the process of realigning legislative districts based upon population changes in the 2020 census. Redistricting is entirely a political process that is complicated and confusing. It is a push-pull process that pits one region of the state against another. Redistricting takes time to find the compromises between regions that will meet the Legislature’s constitutional requirements while preserving communities of interest.
On December 28, the Joint Corporations Committee met in Cheyenne to continue to debate a statewide redistricting plan. I do not believe there is enough Senate support to pass the committee’s current draft plan. It removes a house seat from Carbon County and adds it to the Cheyenne area, causing significant disruption in current House and Senate seats. At this meeting, I presented another plan, which was designed to preserve the status quo to the extent possible and create the least disruption. My plan can be viewed here:
https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1aGE_Dff462lQhspg0W6S9DXeMlqsHcSZ&ll=42.47330059879308%2C-107.19981551468214&z=7This plan died in committee on a 6-8 vote.
The Corporations Committee ended the day with the following plan: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1QItJIfqmNtSUHinmUYDH4_AKo53wgT6Q&ll=42.62922775502006%2C-107.29830122096192&z=7
This plan is good for Sublette County, but does not have enough Senate support in the committee to pass.
The Committee will meet again in Casper on January 12 to debate amendments to its draft plan. I have created another option that proposes 61 House districts, instead of the usual 60. This plan would give Laramie County the 11 House seats it desires, and would give our western Regions 9 and 10 the 14 House seats they prefer. The plan also makes the Bighorn Basin region more constitutional, as its current plan is somewhat short in population based upon prior Supreme Court rulings. This 61-House-District plan would require a "non-nested" Senate plan. Wyoming has typically placed two House Districts within a single Senate District, and this is called nesting. The 61-House-District plan can be viewed here: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1hWvbFcLF0E6yb4HJXfwpz7-I2VB7Z6DJ&ll=43.22334863669065%2C-108.16949470868694&z=8
Another plan currently being considered is the I-80 Compromise. It includes 60 House Districts, and moves one District boundary westward to capture more of Laramie County’s population. This would help alleviate the loss of population along the I-80 corridor in south-central Wyoming. I like this plan, because it tries to balance the population declines in Carbon, Sweetwater, Uinta, and Sublette counties by utilizing the growth not only in Lincoln and Teton counties, but also in Laramie County. The challenge with this plan is that Albany County is stuck in the middle. The plan is good for Sublette County, because Sublette would remain whole and my House District 20 would incorporate La Barge. La Barge resides in the Sublette #9 school district, so it would be a natural addition. The plan creates more disruption for other House members than I would like to see, but it is a good compromise with some Senate support. The I-80 Compromise plan is not final, but can viewed here:
https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1foawIuxsGwgPhgPp6I3NagRtMyg-OHxS&ll=43.535312547419416%2C-108.70322549285812&z=7.
Management Council met in Cheyenne on January 6. Management Council comprises the majority and minority leadership of the Wyoming Legislature. I am a member of Management Council, because I am the Majority Floor Leader of the Wyoming House. Management Council serves as the administrative arm of the legislative branch of state government and is its policymaking body when the Legislature is not in session. Management Council appoints the director of the Legislative Service Office and approves staff hired by the director. Management Council also establishes the calendar for the legislative session, within parameters in the Wyoming Constitution.
Management Council adopted the calendar for a 20-day 2022 Budget Session, which will commence on February 14. This calendar lists the various deadlines for bills in order to maintain a 20-day session, while also providing time to override any Governor vetoes of the budget bill. The session schedule can be viewed at https://wyoleg.gov/2022/Schedule.pdf.
Management Council approved a budget for the operations of the Legislature, which will be presented to the full Legislature in February. This budget will appropriate additional dollars for the Legislative Service Office (LSO), which is our legislative staff. The Council heard a report on recruitment and retention of staff. The Legislature lost staff last year at nearly twice the normal rate. The total legislative budget will grow by $169,000 compared to the 2020 budget.
Management Council also heard a report from LSO on an effort to create a better document management system, one that is more user friendly. As older staff retires or quits and we lose institutional knowledge. We need a system that can search for documents efficiently and accurately. Management Council will also begin to review and update several handbooks and manuals that the Legislature uses.
