Local Caribou County politics and fishing notes
In Caribou County the political scene remains quiet as terms for most county offices expire. Lon Bitton is the only holdover, with incumbents likely to decide on re election in coming weeks. Fishing reports note good law abiding early season activity with two arrests for closed waters and unlicensed juvenile angling. Community rumors touch on uranium geologists in Soda Springs, an oil exploration well, and a proposed coal to electricity plant with fire department implications.
