An open letter to the citizens of Wyoming

County treasurers believe the primary objective of local government investment activities is Safety. We make investment decisions to ensure the preservation of the dollars entrusted to us. We do this with the understanding that the investments will achieve a lower yield than higher-risk investments, like stocks. Current law wisely restricts local governments to low-risk, fixed-income investments like certificates of deposit, federal agency bonds and U.S. treasuries in order to ensure that your money is safe until it is put to use.
