Cheyenne City Council President Richard Johnson awoke to a rather demeaning email on Thursday morning, in response to his proposed ordinance to limit single-use plastic bags in his city.

"Dear Dick," the email from Adam Towns reads. "Screw you and your taxing of plastic bags. Stupid liberal crap like that is partly why my wife and I moved here from Fort Collins with our children."

The email goes on to outrageously accuse Johnson and the ordinance cosponsors on the plastic bag ban of engaging in sexually explicit acts together and told him his "parents must have been prophetic to give you such an apt name."

"It was a great way to start my day," Johnson said with a laugh.

Hopefully he listens.

Keep that Front Range shit outta Wyoming.

Well, if it's any comfort, this is five+ years behind the "times".

The amount of CO tags I see on Wyoming's roads every day has been increasing dramatically over the last five years. Yesterday afternoon, heading north on 25 out of Cheyenne, the CO tags outnumbered the WY tags 10-1 at times. Sure, you can say that they are just weekenders going to their vacation home's, but how long will it be before they stay? Been down on the front range recently? It's a mass of humanity, and a grade A shithole, and people will begin fleeing that. Pre-Covid I never would have thought that I'd be saying this, but Wyoming will fall. Maybe not this week, month or year, but eventually it will happen. It's just a numbers thing.

The real test will be how many are up here in the winter.
