FREMONT COUNTY- The Fremont County Association of Governments is looking forward to receiving Community Services Block Grant funds for the benefit of the low-income of Fremont County and the Eastern Shoshone Tribe. These funds are allocated to Fremont County and the Eastern Shoshone Tribe by the State of Wyoming Department of Health.
The Fremont County Association of Governments oversees the award to agencies and monitors the funds. As a prerequisite to receiving these funds, the Fremont County Association of Governments must complete a Community Needs Assessment every three years. The communityâs participation in the 2021 Community Needs Assessment is essential. Without the communityâs participation, the Fremont County Association of Governments will be unable to adequately meet the needs of the low-income in Fremont County and the Eastern Shoshone Tribe.

Democrats hate vouchers so much that they restricted states from using education funds in the $900 billion Covid relief bill to help struggling families during the pandemic send their kids to private schools. All the more credit to President Trump for opening the door for at least some school-choice relief.
The Covid-19 relief bill sets aside $2.75 billion for private K-12 schools on top of some $54.3 billion for public schools. The catch is that none of the private-school funds can be used for vouchers that go directly to families. States can use the funds to support prep schools attended by the children of Members of Congress, but not to help low-income kids attend those schools.
The new Board of Commissioners convenes its organizational meeting earlier in the month.
DANBURY The Board of County Commissioners moved closer to approval of a new salary system for county employees during its regular meeting Monday night, signaling it will approve the salary study plan being offered by The Mercer Group, an outside consultant, at its next meeting in January.
Actually implementing the plan, however, may require much more work, several commented.
In short, the plan would assign each county job a pay grade, which would have a minimum salary, a maximum and a mid-point. The Mercer Group’s plan also offers recommendations as to which jobs should be assigned into which pay grade.
