Given that the IHT undoubtedly depends on its major donors to remain viable. There is an absolute public need for the IHT to be fully transparent in this regard and to prove without any doubt that it is (and will continue to) operate as a fully independent organization.
Jackson Hole is different than the island in that the bulk of the tourists come from the north and south and the actual motor that makes the town run(workforce) come from the pass/Idaho. I would bet JH has seen way more tents in backyards and people sleeping in cars than ever. JH was the first resort town in the nation to be recognized (time magazine cover 1990s)as suffering greatly from a workforce shortage mainly because of shortsighted greed.
This would be like the Thompson island bridge failing, not some redundant scenic road. I understand businesses are getting screwed but the false equivalence is heavy
Yes, It seems, Leonard Leo corrupts everything within his reach. From national to local government. And now community. Money runs through it. And whether it is all money legally obtained is under investigation - whether Leo surreptitiously transferred money donated to non-taxable Leo instruments into Leo's for profit entity accounts. (And then into his own pockets. For instance, to buy estates and block affordable housing in NEHarbor.) Of course, Leo is using his extensive and much celebrated clout, here in the GOP dominated House, to attack the DC official doing the investigation as to whether Leo violated DC tax laws. At the same time Leo is involved in the campaign to block funding to the IRS for forensic accountants - who can audit the convoluted tax returns of miscreants such as Leo. (And you thought 'Leo Inc' was only about repurposing a democratic republic as a corporate clerical fascist state. No dear readers, vote getting culture war wedge issues serve corrupting government to bring back the gilded age of unmitigated robber barony.
"In April, the Campaign for Accountability, a progressive watchdog, filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service, alleging Leo “caused” recently formed non-profits “to pay him (directly or indirectly) more than $73m over a six-year period from 2016 through 2021”."
"Leonard Leo’s consulting firm has worked for Eli Lilly, the Koch network, and a dark-money group pushing the Supreme Court to block a billionaire tax"
"Capitalizing on Inflation Reduction Act funding and following a top-to-bottom review of enforcement efforts, the Internal Revenue Service announced today the start of a sweeping, historic effort to restore fairness in tax compliance by shifting more attention onto high-income earners, partnerships, large corporations and promoters abusing the nation's tax laws."
That said, regarding another miscreant. Elliot Cutler gave the governorship to Paul LePage. Twice. The second time willfully ignoring data demonstrating that Cutler could not get enough Democratic votes to win, but he could get enough Democratic votes to help elect LePage. Which he did.

Vreeland is one of the worst NIMBYs, I can only imagine how bad it would be if she were on the planning board.
Excellent articles as usual.

Has anyone ever asked Maguire how wealthy seasonal residents who are not established patients are able to get same day urgent care visits?
In all fairness, those same day urgent care visits are first come, first served for everyone. Year round.
I’ll call Monday as a random and see if I can get seen….
I got in last Thursday. Not my regular doc, but excellent care. I hope you can get in and I wish you well. There is also the Saturday clinic.
