The largest employer in Seeley Lake, Montana, is closing in part due to costs and housing issues. An influx of people to smaller towns has driven up costs and fueled housing shortages in Montana. "Among other problems, labor shortages, lack of housing, unprecedented rising costs, plummeting lumber prices, and the cost of living in Western Montana have crippled Pyramid's ability to operate." "This is devastating news for the Seeley Lake community and all of Montana," Daines said. Communities across the West are feeling the pinch of rising costs in different ways.

New York CNN —Central bank officials from across the world have descended upon Jackson Hole, Wyoming this week to discuss policy decisions that will shape the economy for years to come. That’s because Jackson Hole is the most economically unequal place in the United States, according to the Economic Policy Institute. What’s happening: The snow kissed peaks and verdant valleys of Jackson Hole, Wyoming — where Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is due to give a highly anticipated speech on Friday — aren’t just awe-inspiring. Among the top 1% in Teton County (where Jackson Hole is located), the average annual income is a jaw-dropping $22.5 million. The extreme wealth disparity in Jackson Hole is a perfect example of that dichotomy.

A Wyoming judge on Thursday temporarily blocked the first state law specifically banning the use of pills for abortion, the most common method in the country. Just over a week before the ban was scheduled to take effect, Judge Melissa Owens of Teton County District Court granted a temporary restraining order, putting the law on hold pending further court proceedings. Medication abortion is already outlawed in states that have near-total bans, since those bans prohibit all forms of abortion. But Wyoming became the first state to outlaw the use of pills for abortion separate from an overall ban. The law was scheduled to take effect July 1.

In northwest Wyoming, in Teton County, is Jackson Hole, a valley located between the Gros Ventre and Teton mountain ranges. It is known for its access to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Jackson Hole is home to several communities, including Jackson, a town of 10,760 people, according to census data, and Teton Village, the gateway to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Roughly 7 miles west of Jackson and 8 miles south of Teton Village, this blink-and-you’ll-miss-it community of 1,567 people has some of the country’s priciest mountain-town residential real estate as ranked by median listing price, according to Realtor.com.

Abortion is legal in Wyoming again, oddly enough as the result of a state constitutional amendment pushed by conservatives opposed to Obamacare more than a decade ago. Anti-abortion lawmakers in Wyoming have tried to work around the 2012 amendment in passing the ban on abortion. The state's sweeping ban, dubbed "Life is a Human Right Act," claims that abortion is not a form of health care. It's unclear whether the court will ultimately agree that the anti-Obamacare amendment prohibits a state abortion ban. For instance, a judge in Ohio in October temporarily blocked the state's abortion ban because of a constitutional provision adopted in 2011 as a backlash to Obamacare.
