What happens in Idaho in the coming weeks undoubtedly will not stay in Idaho. What happens there could make a big difference in how much you pay for your health insurance – or whether you can even get insurance. Idaho’s Republican governor, C. L. “Butch” Otter, signed an executive order last month that, if not blocked by the federal government, will do what Republicans in Washington have not been able to do: turn the clock back to the days before the Affordable Care Act, at least in the state’s individual health insurance market.

CHEYENNE – As a single father of an eighth-grader, Mark Miller relies on the generosity of his parents and neighbors to help out during long work weeks. Miller, who has had full custody of his son, Cody, since he was 19, is a server at a local chain restaurant on the outskirts of Cheyenne. He typically works 10- to 12-hour days taking orders, serving food and cashing out customers. He handles seven tables at a time, requiring considerable time management and memorization skills.

In December, Governor Matt Mead was quoted by Wyoming Public Media, indicating that he would be against such a move without further study, however, t...
WORLAND - It was close but by the end of the 3A East regional wrestling tournament Saturday afternoon at Worland High School, the Worland Warriors stood all alone at the top of the hill. Maintaining their 14-point lead from the previous day, the Warriors had six wrestlers in the championship round but coasting was not an option for them, because Douglas, who sat in second place, also had six wrestlers in the final round of the tournament. Making things more interesting between the first- and...
