On January 18, 2021 in the Casper Star Tribune, a news article announced that the issue of making a special district in Campbell County would be tabled for two years.
On February 5, 2021 at WyomingNews.com, a news article announced that Jeff Wasserburger, Ogden Driskill, Eric Barlow, and Steve Harshman introduced a bill for the creation of the Gillette Community College District.
On April 1, 2021 at County17.com, a news article announced that the bill to create the Gillette College District had passed the legislature and now just needed Governor Gordon to sign it.
What a time warp! From reconsider in two years to a done-deal in less than 3 months.
Of note, during his efforts to get the bill passed in the state legislature, Sen. Jeff Wasserburger lied in February by presenting that Campbell County's assessed value was a billion dollars more than it had been reported to be in the previous month.
At one point he also suggested that Campbell County voters would vote to pass the issue in a special election if they were told only two mils were needed despite the fact that other experts had demonstrated 4 mils would not be enough to cover the current budget of the college.
The good news is, NWCCD (Northern Wyoming Community College District) is happy to take Gillette Campus back after our lying politicians wreak what havoc they can on the community by participating in this amazing contest best labeled Liars Bluff.
