Editor’s Note: With the new year upon us, we take a look back at some major stories that made front-page news in The Yukon Progress during calendar year 2024. The Yukon City of Yukon voted 3-2 to censure Vice Mayor Jeff Wootton for violating the Yukon City Charter “relative to actions interfering with labor negotiations” between City Manager Tammy Kretchmar and Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 173. Mayor Shelli Selby, Ward 3 Council Member Donna Yanda and Ward 4 Council Member David Enmark voted “yes” while Ward 1 Council Member Rodney Zimmerman and Wootton voted “no.” Wootton called the censure vote an “unjustified overreaction influenced by the mayor and city manager.”
