He did say county employees should not be given raises in the form of cost of living adjustments until the economic picture clears. The commissioners recently approved one-time bonuses for employees. As mayor, Mangold was elected vice president of the Wyoming Association of Municipalities. He said the commissioners of years past could have done a better job planning for the long term in their support for municipalities. “I could contribute a little bit on city talk,” Mangold said. “Being a part of munici- palities, I could help people who actually live inside of (cit- ies) and give a voice to people who live inside of Meeteetse and inside of Powell, and open up communications with the municipalities.” Specifically, he said certain decisions regarding the Park County Fairgrounds could have better served the inter- ests of the City of Powell. Also, in 2014, Powell opted to transport its municipal solid waste to Billings, costing the county expected revenue from this service. Mangold said better communication between the municipality and county could have avoided this move. He said Powell spends more than $500,000 a year on the transport costs alone. “Things just sort of broke down,” he said. Mangold said, vice versa, he could help municipalities include the county more on decisions. He has served on the Boys and Girls Club board of directors, is a Trapper Club booster, and has been an Elks Club member for more than 30 years. He has been a sports broadcaster for KPOW for 40 years and is now a co-owner at the station. If elected, Mangold would be the first City of Powell resi- dent on the commissioners’ board since Larry Hedderman who served from 1990-1994. Former commissioner Tim French does not live in city limits. Mangold will be running against challenger Ted Smith and incumbents Lee Livings- ton and Jake Fulkerson.

With only hours remaining before the deadline to file for this fall’s commissioner race, Mangold decided to make his move. “I got a bunch of phone calls from Republicans in the area who encouraged me to file because no one else had filed and wanted a choice,” Mangold said. “I was sort of hesitant because the City of Powell has a balanced budget so to go to a place that doesn’t have a balanced budget is sort of crazy.” Mangold was Powell mayor from 2004-2012 and currently sits on the Powell City Coun- cil. After stepping back from politics following his mayor- ship, Mangold felt the urge to serve once more when the late Powell Mayor Don Hillman died in 2017. Hillman’s depar- ture left an open city council seat to which Mangold was appointed. He was elected by the voters to his current seat in 2018. The county’s current bud- get struggles remind Mangold of a time when Wyoming’s municipalities were hurting around eight years ago.

He said the consensus of the legislators appears to be that the state will need more than Gov. Mark Gordon’s 10% across-the- board cuts, the laying off of state employees, and the depletion of the rainy day fund. “This means that revenue increases are probable,” Court said. “Revenue increases could include sales tax, property taxes, gas tax, etc.” He said one cent of additional sales tax would mean an addi- tional $320 million dollars in rev- enue, and the benefit to increas- ing the gasoline tax would be that two-thirds of the tax would be paid by nonresidents. “Cutting the general fund in education budgets will never be easy but will need to be done,” Court said. “Increasing revenues will be my last resort.

Former Cody state represen-tative Scott Court is looking to return to the position he held for one term two years ago.

“I should never have got out when I did,” he said. “I really enjoyed it.”
