I met with Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman Wednesday for lunch. It’s the second time we have lunched together this year. Coffman wanted to hear my thoughts on plans the city has for a homeless navigation campus. The city recently bought a hotel that they intend to transform into a homeless campus. Unlike other homeless hotels, guests will be classified and located in the hotel based on whether they are receiving case management, employment assistance and substance abuse and mental health treatment. People receiving services would receive better accommodations such as semi-private rooms and be placed on floors separate from those not ready to engage with case workers, Coffman said.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022.
