She stated that the actions and attitudes of the City of Laramie administration, staff, and Councils were directly responsible for House Bill 85 being drafted in the first place. She hoped the City and the County would work together for the betterment of the entire community.

The City has an back door approach with issues, they set themselves up on a pedestal and then judge how others handle their water and contaminates and so forth.
