I lived in Casper, Wyoming for 21 years through a couple of boom/bust cycles. Currently the whole state of WY is going through a BOOM cycle.

Now if Douglas County only had the revenue that Campbell County is having this year.

Coyne said the impact money to help mitigate those impacts in surrounding communities doesn't measure up to the volume of money Campbell County and its municipalities receive.

Not only will Campbell County and its municipalities share 82 percent of the $21 million Dry Fork Station impact assistance payments, but revenues to the county alone this year from coal, oil and natural gas development total about $221 million, according to Campbell County Assessor Jerry Schatzer.
