AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoHeat & public safety: A supercharged El Niño is pushing another round of dangerous heat, with a heat dome spreading from the Northern Plains into the Midwest and Northeast and record highs possible. Wyoming heat impacts: Wyoming’s recent heat wave broke numerous daily records, including triple-digit readings in places like Worland and Sheridan, before warnings eased in western areas. Wildlife & federal protections: The U.S. Interior Department canceled a rule that provided automatic Endangered Species Act protections for threatened species, a move critics say could speed extinctions; separate federal action finalizes downlisting the razorback sucker from endangered to threatened. Grizzly management shift: Interior and governors announced a plan to return grizzly bear management to states via a revised rule, while the Fish and Wildlife Service reopens public comment. Local wildlife conflict: Wyoming Game and Fish urged reversal of a Grand Targhee expansion approval that could affect Teton Range bighorn sheep habitat. Cheyenne & community: Cheyenne Frontier Days opened with a new Morning Star American Indian Village, and the city’s GOP-hosted debate coverage highlighted a more adversarial tone among candidates. Transportation reminder: Another near-miss on Teton Pass involving an RV towing a trailer underscores the need to understand brake limits on mountain grades.
