(Sidney) -- An Iowa District Court judge has ruled the Fremont County Board of Adjustment must hold an appeal hearing related to zoning certificates granted for the construction of wind turbines in the county. The court order states the only reason given by the defendants for not holding a hearing was because the plaintiffs "did not tender a $5 filing fee," with the defendants not providing any arguments alleging the appeal was "defective for any other reason." However, Bothwell, in her ruling says that the "plain text" of the county's zoning ordinances indicate that the payment of a $5 fee refers to only the filing of "applications regarding zoning matters....

5+ day, 10+ hour ago (858+ words) People seriously injured in remote locations like Brooks Lake, pictured, commonly are transported by helicopter for emergency medical care. Because the nearby town of Dubois is so rural, residents there often need to be airlifted for medical emergencies, too. Fremont County officials are considering a new sales tax to help cover those costs. LANDER " A fall, a heart attack, any kind of medical emergency: If it happens in Fremont County and you call 911, soon enough you hear the sound of helicopter blades. Your life-saving medical bill will include the cost of being life-flighted " and not because you had to be taken to Denver, Salt Lake or even Casper.

1+ week, 1+ day ago (883+ words) Fortunate. That's a word some of Kevin Grantham's former legislative allies have used to describe him recently. Grantham, a Fremont County commissioner and formerly the president of the Colorado Senate, is seeking the Republican Party's nomination for state treasurer. He doesn't have a primary opponent. "I believe treasurer is that sort of race," Grantham said. "I have joked that, yes, I'm the only Republican running for state treasurer, and the only Republican not running for governor." There are 21 candidates for the Republican nomination for governor, according to filings at the secretary of state's office. Four other Republicans who filed have withdrawn. Being presently unopposed does not mean Grantham is a shoe-in for the job, although he did once have the nickname "The Boss." He would need to secure the Republican Party's nomination and then face a general election race against…...
