Dear HCN,
We are disgusted with
your article, “Riding the Wyoming Brand” (HCN, 7/6/98). This is
liberal Democratic Party propaganda designed to slam the good
conservative values we have in Wyoming. I would have thought High
Country News would never lower itself to this kind of slander, but
I was wrong. Gov. Jim Geringer and the Republican Party in Wyoming
try hard to cater to the wishes of the
voters.
There are good jobs in Wyoming in the
coal mines, in the service industries, and many people have
Internet-style business that reaches the whole United States and
provides work for many people. The children in the big family
ranches do stay here and continue the ranching industry. The young
people that leave the state are mostly those who do not want
hard-working, sweaty, 10-hour-per-day jobs. These young people
prefer lazy seven-hour, daily jobs that give high pay for minimal
effort, just like the liberals advocate. We are dismayed that you
would bash Wyoming.
