Good morning, Laramie.

Laramie Elks Lodge 582 is hosting a Tacos — Margaritas for a Cause fundraiser to raise funds for injured Laramie firefighters.

Kevin Segal, a man from Los Angeles who called himself a bitcoin billionaire, defrauded Teton County businesses of nearly $212,000 and skipped a virtual court hearing, leading to a bench warrant issued in all 50 states and a new $750,000 cash-only bond requirement — authorities say he is still at large as they work to recover funds for local victims.

Violinist Michael Vitanza, a University of Wyoming student from Pinedale, won last week’s annual Jacoby Competition—featuring seven UW student soloists.

Guest columnist Rob Wallace tells the story of Al Simpson, a Wyoming man who served in the Senate and used his quick wit—such as joking during debates—to pass laws that kept Wyoming’s coal strong and helped shape immigration reform.

He worked with both parties to boost the state’s energy industry and left a lasting mark on bipartisan cooperation in Washington.

Former U.S. Senator Al Simpson died Friday, March 14th, 2025 at the Spirit Mountain Hospice House in Cody at age 93 after suffering from circulation problems in his legs and feet—he leaves behind his wife of 70 years, three children, and one brother.

He is remembered as a kind and dedicated public servant whose long career in the Senate and state government helped shape Wyoming—his legacy remains in the hearts of many.
