Another Reason

As the years go by, I keep finding new reasons to love Wyoming, my adopted home state. The latest is a paragraph from a Los Angeles Times article discussing how North Dakota is becoming less welcoming to immigrants. The paragraph:
Because of a federal policy announced in September, the 49 states and 600 counties that have welcomed refugees — only Wyoming has never taken part in federal resettlement efforts — each have the power to decide whether to continue doing so. (emphasis added)
OTOH Wyoming is welcoming to U.S. citizens who move there and try to fit in. My valley in western WY is home to a bunch of happy transplanted year-round residents and snowbird tax refugees.
