Courts Are Our Last Resort

 Hurrah for three branches of government and courts

A huge wind farm blocked by lawsuits from local residents near Tie Siding, WY.

This will be long and ugly. If the Orange Man wins, this will probably be abandoned.

Dr Jim may remember this Tie Siding sight.

Pissing Contest

A fight to rename Wyoming’s Devils Tower to something else.

Not so fast

An example of woke bureaucratic mind set.

The committee urges Haaland to "take action" to rename Devils Tower as Bear Lodge, suggesting she has unilateral authority to do so. The recommendation claims the Secretary of the Interior can rename a geographic feature if the U.S. Board of Geographic Names "does not act within a reasonable time" when a proposal is submitted.

Small problem. Way back Wyoming carved an exception. Nothing can change without Congressional approval.

Local Politics

Lauren Bobert wins her Primary race. Sister Kink goes down in flames.

Ms. Bobert switched Congressional Districts and handily won the Primary over five other (entrenched Republicans). The Donkey winner is a certified leftist. The District has been a Republican seat for the past 5+ elections. Since Uniparty Ken Buck resigned early, a place keeper was elected to serve out his term.

Sister Kink only drew about 1/3^rd of the vote. I doubt she will just fade away.

The winner, Perry Buck, is an entrenched Republican. That said, she is a decent person.

As always, YMMV

 

Sister Kink Wins!

Lori Saine, term limited State Representative, apparently has won her primary race to be Weld County District 3 Commissioner.

Back in the day she managed one of the car lots I supervised. Across the street was a radio stationed run by a “conservative” who got her involved in politics.

A side note. In the car biz, “Kink” has nothing to do with sex. Rather, the way someone negotiates a car deal. Sister Kink was unable to work any car deal without putting some vicious kink in it, hence my name for her.  She did chafe under my benevolent management style

You will not find a harder worker than her, all of 5’, and the willingness to do what it takes to succeed. She lives the words of the car biz immortal, Jackie Cooper, “Winners do what losers won’t”.

She has been the subject of a previous post involving her taking a firearm through security at DIA.

The General Election should be a breeze for her. The Democrat opponent is an enemy of the oil and gas industry. Not a winning strategy in the 20^th largest petroleum producing county in the USA.
