In a recent government meeting, the board unanimously approved the agenda and opened the floor for public comments, which included a significant proclamation recognizing Women's Equality Day. The proclamation highlighted the historical struggle for women's rights in the United States, particularly noting Wyoming's pioneering role as the first territory to grant women the right to vote in 1869. The board emphasized the importance of this day, August 26th, as a celebration of the women's suffrage movement and ongoing efforts to secure equal rights for all women.
Following the proclamation, the board moved on to financial matters, approving the payment of county vouchers totaling $893,461.65. Commissioner Macker initiated the motion, which received a second from Commissioner Epstein, and was passed without opposition. The meeting concluded with the board addressing administrative items, including the approval of three 24-hour liquor permits. Overall, the meeting underscored the town's commitment to recognizing historical milestones in women's rights while also managing current administrative and financial responsibilities.
