>Laramie County Sheriff Brian Kozak says Cheyenne Mayor Patrick Collins is using annexation to “land grab” areas of the county to fill the city’s coffers, but it leaves the county stretched to provide public safety services.
“The mayor is land-grabbing for property revenue but not expanding public safety resources,” Kozak commented on social media last week. “My agency and fire districts have to pick up the slack. The city should plan for smart growth and expand their services at the same rate.”
Collins denies the sheriff’s claims.
“I think people think we’re doing this for the money we get [from property taxes],” the mayor told Cowboy State Daily. “I understand the narrative, but it just isn’t true.”
