Wyoming Mayor Says ‘Third-World Stuff’ Happening In City Overrun With Homeless People. An excerpt:
“Casper is Wyoming’s second most populous city, with a population of nearly 60,000, second behind the state’s capital, Cheyenne.
According to the mayor, the city’s vacant Econo Lodge motel, which had been closed due to flooding, was taken over by homeless people, who caused millions in destruction.
Pictures of the motel rooms published by the outlet show trash, towels, and bed sheets littered across the floors.
The city subsequently condemned the motel, and the bank that owned the property had to board it up to prevent homeless people from entering.”

Jackson Buys 8 Electric Buses For Transit System, But None Are Working. (A hat tip to D.S.V. for the link.) Here is a quote:
“Teton County and the town of Jackson had set its sights on a low-emission transit system for the county.
The Southern Teton Area Rapid Transit (START) system, a joint operation between Jackson and Teton County, bought eight electric buses to complement its fleet of 31.
But none of the electric buses are running, and so the town’s transit system is relying on its diesel fleet.”
