Senator Babcock Denies Misquoting on Oil Bonus Law
State Senator Ray Babcock of Sidney said he was badly misquoted in recent dispatches claiming Cheyenne County cannot pay a five thousand dollar oil bonus under the State Bonus Law. He noted his remark was facetious and stemmed from opposition to the law, stressing the county could find a legal way to pay if possible and that trustees would honor the state statute. County Commissioner George Fleming said the bonus was discussed but not included in this year’s budget pending proper procedures, though he expects the county to fulfill its part of the state law.
