WASHINGTON (AP) — An immigrant teen in federal custody who was seeking an abortion over the Trump administration’s objections had the procedure Wednesday after a U.S. appeals court ruled in her favor, her lawyers said.

LARAMIE — A University of Wyoming student has been hospitalized and is being treated after being diagnosed with meningitis. “Although the risk to the campus community is low, as a precautionary measure, the university and the Wyoming Department of Health are identifying and reaching out to individuals who have had close, personal contact with the student, who lives off campus,” says Dr. Joanne Steane, director of the UW Student Health Service. “These individuals will be offered preventive treatment with the appropriate antibiotic.” Although men...
CHEYENNE (AP) — Wyoming’s latest state revenue forecast contains hints of optimism but still predicts far less money coming in than was the case just a few years ago, before a downturn in fossil-fuel markets.

Wyoming officials pay close attention to the reports amid a sharp decline in revenue from taxes and royalties on coal, oil and natural gas development. The latest report predicts revenue for the 2017-18 biennium will reach nearly $2....
