Sheridan County Commissioners Approve Contract With WY Dept. Of Family Services

Sheridan County will serve as a middle man of sorts between the Wyoming Department of Family Services and agencies in the county that provide to Needy Families.
The Sheridan County Commissioners have approved a contract between the County and the DFS to oversee the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Community Partnership Initiative.
County Administrative Director Cameron Duff provides more details.
“This agreement is an annual agreement for temporary assistance for needy families. It is for $65,000. It runs from October 1st, 2024 to September 30th, 2025. We are a pass through agency, so the funds will be going to Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Wyoming, the Sheridan County branch, in the amount of $15,500 and then to Compass Center For Families in the amount of $49,500.”
Payments will be made quarterly.
The issue was discussed during the previous commissioners meeting back middle-August, but the decision was tabled until recently, because the commissioners had not received all of the paperwork related to the contract.

So let me get this straight. The commissioners re-impose the highest legally allowed mill rate. And always support the highest sales tax rate of any county in Wyoming (6%).
Collect all those excess taxes. Pile it up. Then act as the “middle man_” and donate our money to a charitable organization.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper, easier and morally correct, if we lowered the collected-by-force tax rates and let people donate directly to good causes of their own choosing?
Why not cut out the middle-man (the gov’t) and allow more freedom.
Lower tax are better!
Just say NO to the Cap Tax.
