Mid-week update

Sorry folks, I’ve been a bit busy and a bit behind in processing the latest in legislative action. The Evidence-Based Wyoming application just processed the legislative record up through March 4th, 2021. One of the pieces of data the Evidence-Based Wyoming system generates is a summary of the last actions taken for each bill in… Read More »Mid-week update

More and more bills from the House of Representatives…

In that time the legislature has had only 254 votes on a variety of bills. Compared to the first nine days of the last general session in… Read More »Legislative session sputters to life

Okay, that may overstate it a bit, but I would encourage you to write your legislators and ask them to support HJ-0002, it will protect your health care rights. Also please let Rep. John Bear know you appreciate this resolution. He’s worked tirelessly to get it… Read More »HJ-2, a good idea to protect our rights
