Today's riddle: What is the difference between a jeweler and a jailer? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Casper City Council discusses potential water rate changes (oilcity.news subscription) — Casper officials are weighing major changes to how your water bill is structured, especially for apartments and other multifamily housing. City Council has delayed any decision while staff gathers more data on how different complexes are metered and billed, but the goal is to keep overall revenue steady while making low-use customers' bills more affordable. Expect more detailed options at a future council meeting.
• Beefing over foreign beef plan, Barrasso breaks with the Trump administration (wyofile.com) — Wyomingites, including U.S. Sen. John Barrasso of Casper, are pushing back against a Trump administration plan to import large amounts of discounted foreign ground beef, warning it could hurt local ranchers. Barrasso's rare public break with Trump aligns him with Wyoming stockgrowers and national cattle groups who say the move undercuts herd expansion and long‑term market stability.
• Outshine frozen fruit bars recalled in Wyoming, nationwide for glass contamination (oilcity.news) — If you've got Outshine fruit bars in your Casper freezer, you may want to double-check the box. Several popular flavors and a large variety pack are being recalled nationwide, including in Wyoming, because some bars may contain glass. State agriculture officials say affected products should be identified by lot code, not eaten, and thrown away immediately.
