Letter to the Editor: Senator clarifies Freedom Caucus statement

Published by admin on Thu, 02/05/2026 - 8:00am

I would like to address a statement I made in a story that ran in the Basin Republican Rustler and Greybull Standard last week.  The statement was that the Wyoming Freedom Caucus had pledged $30,000 to each house race in Wyoming.  That is what I was told by several very reliable individuals. Since then I have been unable to substantiate this. So in the spirit of transparency, I would like your readers to know this.

If you watched the football game between Miami and Indiana last week — the outcome to decide which was the best team in the country — you saw an epic battle between Miami, which had won the title five times, and the Indiana Hoosiers, the laughingstock of college football, from “sea to shining sea” in America.

Have you ever heard of Frank’s sign? How about drumstick fingers or peau d’orange?
They sound like strange, forgettable terms, but in medicine, they can actually matter.
