School Lands County Paying Big But Gets Little Return
Cheyenne County witnesses from 1962 show $127 345.61 sent to the state school fund but only $51 050.41 returned to the county as local benefit.

Despite county sales raising $222 000 for the permanent fund, Cheyenne receives no direct returns, and the state auction process, while legally required to seek high bids, allows potential higher offers after auctions.
