There's no rule against legislating in the budget. It's a practice that I don't care for but sometimes it's necessary if you have exhausted all other options. On Friday, the Redocats threw a fit about it--even though they're the experts in the practice.David Iverson tarafından oluşturuldu

Senate Joint Resolution 1 is this year's version of the Convention of States. It's pretty much the same as the last ten times its been defeated in Wyoming, with a few new twists. Two years ago Mark Meckler and I tangled in the Senate Corporations Committee.David Iverson tarafından oluşturuldu

Rep Jarvis claims she is voting based upon the results of a survey she sent to constituents. If all we are doing is number crunching and then voting accordingly we may as well have a House full of bots like Vic the AI Bot. There's a bunch wrong with the idea--not the least of which is it's pretty much what the Redcoats accused conservatives of doin…

We have lots to be thankful for this Christmas; like not having to listen to Kamala Harris for 4 years and Donald Trump coming back to the White House! A piece in the Jackson Hole News and Guide calls little babies "pre-borns," and claims that we need to butt out of a woman's right to choose. I disagree!…

There are a couple of bills you can always count on Rep Steve Harshman to file. This year it's his bill to change how vacancies are filled. It's entirely political and it's purpose is only to help the Redcoats. Also, the committee makeup of the House is exactly the opposite of the Senate. But there are still a few assignments I really disagree with…

Affordable housing seems to be the only thing that elected officials can talk about right now. If you listen to them, government is the only way that anyone can find a house. Might I suggest the free market?David Iverson tarafından oluşturuldu

You only need once piece of paper to keep and bear arms. SF37 adds another one. It creates an "enhanced concealed carry permit," that would allow you to carry in a school. The correct answer is to repeal gun free zones altogether and not add more government.David Iverson tarafından oluşturuldu

Committee assignments are out and now we know exactly what Sen Bo Biteman gave up to become Senate President. 7 out of 10 committees are now controlled by liberal Redcoats.

Wyoming's bait and switch committee. The Regulatory Reduction Task Force was a red herring from the very beginning.

Governor Gordon has signed on to a lawsuit defending Wyoming's coal industry. What happened to the whole "carbon negative" stuff? $54,000,000 was apparently not enough for Sheridan School District #2, they added another $1.51 Million to their budget.David Iverson tarafından oluşturuldu

The Season 4 Finale! As the legislative session approaches, we need to start re-educating ourselves on who these people are. They haven't changed just because leadership has. One year ago I interviewed Ryan McGowan from the Institute for Legislative Analysis. It's absolutely applicable today.David Iverson tarafından oluşturuldu

Governor Gordon has sent legislators a "supplemental budget." Typically, these are for unforeseen emergencies. Much of what is in it has nothing to do with an emergency.

The 2025-2026 legislative leadership is almost set. Bo Biteman will be the President of the Senate and Chip Neiman will be the Speaker of the House. But that came at the cost of Tara Nethercott as Majority Floor Leader. But, that may not have been all that was given up in the Senate.David Iverson tarafından oluşturuldu

The House and Senate leadership vote happens today. As I previously reported Sen Bo Biteman and Tim Salazar made a deal with Senator Slithers, Tara Nethercott. Turns out I was right. What exactly is a TIF? It's basically a way for municipalities to borrow against future tax collection. So much for lowering taxes eh?…
