Yesterday, the Wyoming Republican Party lost a good friend. Greg Schaefer passed away surrounded by his family in Gillette. The vice-president of external affairs for Arch Coal before his retirement, Greg was involved with the party for many years. He served as Wyoming’s National Committeeman to the Republican National Committee for eight years, and was our representative on the RNC Rules Committee. He represented Wyoming well and happily, always answering roll calls with a hearty “Go Pokes!” Rest in peace, Greg. You will be sorely missed by your large Republican family. P.C.

Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation? The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the Internet. It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense.

"Tax day has long been the worst day of the year for American taxpayers, bringing us face-to-face with the reality that our government takes too much of our hard-earned money. However, thanks to the Trump administration’s historic Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, tax day has become less of a burden – and a good time to reflect on how much more of our own money we get to keep in our wallets.
