Secretary of State’s Office State Capitol Cheyenne, WY 82002 307-777-7378 Fax: 307-777-6217 For Immediate Release Date: January 6, 2015 Contact: Peggy Nighswonger, State Election Director Phone: 307-777-5860 Registered voters receive notice of pending cancellation CHEYENNE—Registered voters who did not cast a ballot in November’s general election are receiving notices from county clerks that their names will be removed from the voter registration list unless they take action to remain on the list. “Wyoming’s voter registration list is kept accurate and up-to-date through the process of purging the list after every general election,” said Election Director Peggy Nighswonger. “This ensures that persons who are no longer eligible to vote are removed from the voter registration list.” According to Director Nighswonger an estimated 95,000 voters across the state are receiving notices of pending cancellation of their registration because they did not cast a ballot in the last general election. “The notice will state that cancellation will occur within 20 days unless the elector asks that his name remain on the list,” said Nighswonger. “Persons who receive a notice should return the notice by mail or contact their county clerk as soon as possible.” Nighswonger said state law requires that the voter registration list is purged and registration information updated by February 15 of each year. Persons who have been purged from the voter registration list may still vote in future elections, but they will need to register again, noted Nighswonger.

25 POUNDS OF MARIJUANA SEIZED EAST OF EVANSTON
Date: 03/10/2015
A traffic stop for speeding on March 9th resulted in the seizure of approximately 25 pounds of marijuana. The traffic stop occurred at 9:42 a.m. at mile post 22 on Interstate 80 eastbound approximately 16 miles east of Evanston, Wyoming.
A Wyoming State Trooper observed a Nissan Altima travelling east at 87 mph in a posted 75 mph zone. Upon stopping the Nissan, the trooper became suspicious the occupants in the Nissan were involved in some type of criminal activity, specifically drug trafficking after smelling the overwhelming odor of raw marijuana coming from the interior of the vehicle. After searching the Nissan, troopers located 25 pounds of raw high-grade marijuana.
It was determined the marijuana was being transported to the Madison, Wisconsin area from Oakland, California. 41 year old Gerald Nichols and 24 year old Stephanie Martin, both of Madison, Wisconsin, were arrested. Both individuals were taken to the Uinta County Jail and charged with felony possession of a controlled substance. The estimated street value of the seized marijuana is $125,000

WORK BEGINS ON FORT CASPAR UNDERPASS
Posted on 03/25/2015
Construction is set to begin on Monday, March 30th, for the Fort Caspar pedestrian underpass. The underpass is part of the Platte River Trail system and will provide a safe way for pathway users to cross Wyoming Boulevard at 13th Street.
Traffic delays can be expected on both Wyoming Boulevard and 13th Streets starting this week as workers begin preparations for construction. Traffic will be restricted to one lane in either direction on Wyoming Boulevard during portions of the project, and 13th Street will be restricted to one lane from King Boulevard to Wyoming Boulevard starting this week and periodically throughout the construction process. Pathway users may also expect delays and restrictions to the current pathway system.
Because Fort Caspar is an historical site, workers will be looking for any artifacts that may be buried in the area. If artifacts are uncovered, Fort Caspar museum staff will be notified so that proper procedures and steps to preserve the artifacts can be taken.
The project involves the installation of a box culvert under Wyoming Boulevard, the development of new pathway sections to connect the trails system on both sides of the roadway, retaining walls, lightning, and streetscape enhancements. The work is scheduled to be completed by July 1, 2015.
The $1.2 million project is being completed by 71 Construction and is a joint effort between the City of Casper, the Platte River Trails Trust, and the Wyoming Department of Transportation. The project is being funded by $358,000 from the WYDOT TAP program, $150,000 from the Natrona County School District Recreation Board, $101,500 from unallocated One Cent 2013 and $413,967 from One Cent 2014 allocated to the Platte River Trails Trust, and $313,599 from City of Casper General Fund monies.
