Wyo. treasurer finalist censured by high court

A Wyoming Republican Party finalist to succeed the late state Treasurer Joe Meyer was censured by the state Supreme Court for misleading an opposing lawyer in a civil lawsuit. The court censured Rock Springs lawyer Clark Stith in April 2011, saying he failed to tell an opposing lawyer that Stith's client had insurance that could help settle a civil claim. Stith says he didn't mention the coverage because his client didn't want to file an insurance claim. Stith says he did nothing wrong and that the matter has no bearing on his ability to serve as treasurer. Gov. Matt Mead plans to interview three finalists for treasurer on Wednesday and announce his choice Friday.
