A week of transition

This feels like a week of transition, as we move out of summer and into the start of school and beyond the primary election into the buildup for the November general election.
There weren’t too many surprises in Tuesday’s voting, especially here in Big Horn County.  We just aren’t accustomed to seeing only one candidate vying for our House district and for the Big Horn County Commission.
In fact, none of us can recall that ever happening.  Dalton Banks and Bruce Jolley should have enjoyed a good night’s sleep on Tuesday.  A little further south, incumbent lawmakers went 3-for-3.
And it was just a warmup in our municipal elections.  We’ll do it again in November, when turnout will no doubt be much higher than it was this week.
