Dear Editor:
We all know the county commissioners have a tough job, but yet another planning process? Yikes!
How many planning processes do the people of Park County have to suffer through? Weren’t any lessons learned from the Wyoming Public Lands Initiative (WPLI) fiasco? Do we really need to give $100,000 to an out-of-state planning team from, of all places, Bozeman, Montana? The people of Park County are perfectly capable of expressing their views on public lands without county government interference.
Budgets are tight, revenues are declining, how about sticking to the basics: maintain roads, fix bridges, pay the sheriff, deal with complex landfills, give county employees a decent wage, buy some books for the library and, of course, the fair.
Nobody wants another planning process.
