Sports Editor in Evansto, Wyoming

Hi all, I saw a job opening for a sports editor at the Uinta County Herald in Evanston, Wyoming and was wondering if anyone here knows anything about if it's a solid publication? They have been without a sports editor for a few weeks and there is no clear reason why the prior editor left.

Any help would be appreciated .

I suspect that the pay is low enough that the employee would not owe much in income taxes in virtually any state. I also guess that much of the population of Evanston is LDS. Which will affect the social life of the town. Many of these small towns revolve around the local church or stake. Which is fine but can be a big adjustment if you are from a more secular background.
