i hadn't heard that whine before.

one might be inclined to discern the source of the ozone since natural gas does not contain ozone and natural gas production does not create ozone. As writings of such unobjective and uneducated whiners are prone, this story includes several pieces of propaganda for each part of fact. For example, from http://www.epa.gov/airtrends/2010/report/ozone.pdf:

a. Note that the high concentration shown in Wyoming occurred at one site due to an unusual combination of local emission and atmospheric conditions on a winter day

The comment "trading off health for profit" is particularly ironic considering that the teacher, daycare operator, and store owners would not have many of their customers if not for Wyoming's natural resources. If the residents want to complain about the emissions from trucks related to drilling and stimulation operations, then they should also be complaining about the emissions from airplanes, cars, buses, etc in the Grand Teton and Yellowstone areas.
