Good morning, Cheyenne.

Luke Branson Talbott (31) from Casper was arrested in Cheyenne at 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, July 29 for allegedly strangling a household member and was charged with domestic battery; he faces a felony charge, was set at $3,000 cash bond, and will have a preliminary hearing on Monday, Aug. 11 at 11:30 a.m.

Cheyenne artists Georgia and Dave Rowswell—partners in art for over 40 years—were chosen as the 2025 Wyoming Artists in Residence by the state Parks and Cultural Resources department.

They will begin a 10-day residency in September that takes them to state parks where the public can observe their work firsthand.

Cheyenne has a busy week as Friday brings a plaza show by The Expendables and a downtown art walk while earlier micro wrestling at the Outlaw Saloon and a country show with Redferrin at The Lincoln drew local crowds.

Residents will enjoy a Saturday arts celebration at 11 a.m.—the week also features a weekly farmers market and a dinosaur exhibit from the Geological Museum.

Wyoming is expected to lose about $50 million in annual coal royalty revenue after the federal government lowered rates from 12.5 to 7%—a change introduced in the Big Beautiful Bill signed last month.

Officials said the small offset from higher severance and ad valorem payments will not fully cover the drop, raising concerns over funds for education, roads, and local services.

The Wyoming Department of Health issued an advisory for Sloans Lake in Cheyenne today—warning residents about the increasing risk of blue-green algae blooms.

Laramie County commissioners approved the county's 2025 mill levies on Monday after a public hearing.

The levies adjust bonds for Laramie County Community College, lower payments for Fire District 1, and raise the Fire Authority levy to cover bond interest as property values decline.

Wyoming wide receiver Jackson Holman, a transfer from Arizona, said on SportsZone he is hoping to boost the Cowboys this season.

The team will open their season in three weeks on the road at Akron.
