  • Stocks climb again as investors shake off inflation worries

    MARLEY JAY, AP Markets Writer|Feb 15, 2018

    NEW YORK (AP) — Investors saw some new hints that inflation is increasing on Wednesday, but they still sent banks, technology firms, and consumer-focused companies climbing. That was a big change after the market’s inflation-inspired plunge earlier this month. After a shaky start, stocks rose for the fourth straight day, and banks made some of the largest gains as bond yields reached new four-year highs. The move in yields came after the government said consumer prices climbed in January a slightly faster pace than economists had expected. A d...

    Arno Rosenfeld, Casper Star-Tribune Via Wyoming News Exchange|Feb 15, 2018

    CHEYENNE — Domestic violence advocates achieved a small victory in an ongoing effort to strengthen Wyoming’s stalking laws, following a similar measure’s failure in the Legislature last year.

    Karla Pomeroy, Editor|Feb 15, 2018

    WORLAND - The biggest challenge for agriculture producers used to be that no one knew where food came from. Today, the challenge is now people don't have the right information. That message came out loud and strong during Trent Loos' presentation to open 2018 WESTI (Wyoming Extension's Strategically and Technologically Informative) Ag Days at the Worland Community Center Complex Wednesday morning. Been too long since visited Wyoming. Very exhilarating, abundant of resources and people willing to...
