CHEYENNE (AP) — Republican men will dominate the 2017 Wyoming Legislature following Tuesday’s election. The Wyoming Tribune-Eagle reports that upcoming legislature will look quite similar to the current body. Republicans will retain a supermajority in both the Senate and the House. The only current female senator, Democrat Bernadine Craft of Rock Springs, decided not to run for re-election. The new Senate, however, will have three female lawmakers: Laramie Republicans Tara Nethercott and Affie Ellis and Sweetwater County Democrat Lisa Ans...

The rally lost some steam Friday, pulling the S&P 500 slightly lower. The Dow rose 39.78 points, or 0.2 percent, to 18,8...
