City elects dog mayor in surprising political twist
During a recent government meeting, a light-hearted discussion emerged regarding the political landscape in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where a mayoral candidate controversially proposed delegating decision-making to an AI chatbot. This sparked a humorous exchange among council members, highlighting the absurdity of the situation. One member referenced the city's history of electing a dog as mayor, noting that the canine had been reelected three times, much to the chagrin of its human opponents.

The conversation underscored the sometimes whimsical nature of local politics, with members joking about the implications of AI in governance and the challenges faced by traditional candidates in a landscape that can favor unconventional choices. The meeting concluded with a reminder of the upcoming City Council schedule, shifting the focus back to more routine municipal matters.
