CHEYENNE — Although no evacuation was required, the Wyoming State Capitol was one of several locations across the country to receive a package that may have contained an unidentified white powder substance. According to an FBI statement sent to the Wyoming Tribune Eagle, the FBI and the U. S. Postal Inspection Service are looking into multiple suspicious mailings sent to addresses nationwide. Some letters are reported to have contained an unknown substance. The FBI is working with local law enforcement to discover the parties responsible for the letters, according to the news release. At approximately 10:30 a.m. Thursday, a 911 call came in reporting white powder at the Wyoming State Capitol loading dock. No evacuation was necessary, according to Wyoming Highway Patrol (WHP) spokesperson Aaron Brown. WHP was the responding agency because it is responsible for security at the Capitol. The Cheyenne Police Department, Cheyenne Fire Rescue and the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office were called to assist, responding to the scene by approximately 10:40 a.m. A WTE reporter initially observed a group of six to seven people gathered in front of the loading dock, discussing next steps.

Governor Hochul, Bruce Blakeman hit campaign trail before early voting underway next weekend
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Governor Kathy Hochul and Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman campaigned in separate appearances Sunday, offering sharply different visions for New York as voters prepare for early voting and Election Day. Hochul visited Concourse Village in the Bronx, where she highlighted policies including a ban on cell phones in schools and expanded access to community college and child care. The governor said those priorities are rooted in her own experiences. "I knew what it was like to struggle, not having child care. That's why as governor, when I'm focusing on your family as my fight and we're going to have child care for everybody, this was a personal fight because I knew what it was like not to have it," Hochul said. Meanwhile, Blakeman campaigned in Elmont on Long Island alongside Lee Zeldin, whom Hochul narrowly defeated in the 2022 gubernatorial election. Zeldin later became administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in the Trump administration. While Hochul did not mention Blakeman during her Bronx appearance, supporters said a major challenge for Democrats in the borough is voter turnout. "I'm counting on all of you," Hochul told attendees.
