Public business should be done in public

Editor’s Note: This letter was addressed to Dennis Jaeger, Forest Supervisor, Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest in Laramie. The Saratoga Sun requested permission from the author to print the letter.

Mr. Jaeger:

I am disappointed by your blatant effort to minimize public input into this plan. Your local ranger has stated there will be no open public meetings and it is her intent to issue a decision by June 1st with implementation this summer. There has been no effort to contact those citizens in Laramie and Cheyenne who are also affected.

You are public servants and the public’s busines...
