Hannah runs for re-election to council

Among the incumbents on the ticket for East Thermopolis Town Council is Sybil Hannah, who has been on the council for six years. She moved to Thermopolis in 1996, but was born and raised in Basin and is an active member of the Hot Springs County Senior Center.

Prior to moving to Thermopolis, she lived in Kemmerer for 32 years. During her time there she was employed in banking for five years and worked 14 years in the tax and license department of the county treasurer’s office in Lincoln County

She would like to see curb, gutter and sidewalks on the roads in East Thermopolis, as right now when people go walking they are walking in the streets, but she understands such projects are quite costly. She also likes the idea of the Hot Springs County Emergency Management Board and receiving notifications of severe weather.

“For a small community I think we’re very friendly,” she said, “whether we live in Thermopolis or East Thermopolis.”
