Episode 30 — The Politics of Finger Pointing

December 09, 2024 • Bob Bonnar, Alexis Barker • Season 2 • Episode 12

This week we take you off the page to tell you the stories behind the story on the city's utility rate hike, and give you the information you need to decide who should — and shouldn't — get a bad rap for the size of the lump of coal in your Christmas stockings this year. We also take a look at what Chip Neiman's ascension to House Speaker means for the Wyoming State Legislature's upcoming session — and we respond to a homegrown media critic's campaign to defend incompetence in local government by blaming the press every time a public official gets caught underperforming in their position or misleading the public.
