Hoisted on Your Own Petard


I have known Ken Corbridge Jr. for more than 30 years and it takes a lot to upset him. It is evident from his open letter that the apparent actions of Fremont County employees have breached that threshold. Since the initiation of the effort to establish a national monument was done with the help of current county employees, it is small wonder why the residents are not convinced that the effort has been halted.

Anytime an effort of this magnitude is undertaken those most affected should be consulted first. Since that did not happen, the trust in some county employees/officials has been damaged. This controversy was created by those who are currently working for Fremont County with at least a lack of oversight by the Commissioners.


Fremont County should not be upset with the outrage displayed by residents when it was their people who created the problem. The trust can be restored between all parties but it is time for a truthful and honest dialogue.
