Cassie Craven: Wild Week in Wyoming Legislative – Daily Cowboy State Daily

If the citizens of Wyoming receive a relief of ownership tax, we will not have plowed roads and there is no police. These are the stories we have heard during the debate of this legislative session.

On February 5, the Midnight Committee of the Committee on Midnight Committees of Corporations, Elections and Political Units had a different perspective.

The district commissioners for a handful of the most powerful cities of the state were called for the drilling of millions in taxes on the ownership of citizens. Reporter Gary Brown, R-Meenne, commented that after 11 years there was an excess of nearly $ 141 million stored in the reserves.

“It’s not just a little money,” Brown said. “It’s excessive and when the people in the county hurt, don’t you think it’s excessive?”

Now Larami County has only $ 92 million reserves, noted the CEO of the District Commissioner Association. This is $ 14 million less than 2024. The director has discussed the many “emergency” categories for which reserves are saved – as a “pollution reserve” and “planning”.

People cannot afford grocery and taxes in poverty. We are taxed taxes to die, taxes taxes, and people are fed.

Brown was asked if there was a subsequent question. Stilling his head, he replied, “No. I will not get an answer to my question. ”

Reporter Steve Johnson, R-heyenne, examined the breakdown in 2022-2023 and said: “Larami County raised $ 32 million in ownership taxes. They put $ 32 million reserves. And I just think it’s an surplus for a year…. People from Larami County should be a little upset and ask for some money. “

But despite these obvious points of government greed, there is a perception of some that straightening the right thing is an effort to draw attention to itself or to run for a future campaign. This is a speaking moment that politicians lean on when they want to reorient criticism elsewhere.

This week, John Mero, R-Gillette, from The Freedom Caucus, said governor Mark Gordonvii is a law by recommending spending outside the Rainy Day Fund, which will exceed 5% of the balance of this account. The governor’s spokesman said: “Maybe the representative bear should be more interested in helping the Wyoming people recover from devastating wild fires than to run his next campaign.”

Watching Wyoming’s policy and law feels like fighting a narcissist. Divor, avoid, divert. I don’t tell you a great level. You need to raise funds. You are a liar -looking liar. Block voting may not be the result of mutual conviction, it should mean that we are all stupid and carry out marching orders from Washington

Or maybe We humans They are tired of the lie and are used. Maybe we actually want a change. Some may have decided to deal with their homework seriously and organize themselves.

A few remnants of the unsuccessful and governor of the governor “Wyoming Cau” kick and scream until most of the House insists on the government’s reform. Rep. Landon Brown, R-Cheyenne, I went to the recording Saying, “These people are more focused on conducting political campaigns than they are worried about government government.”

Rep. Landon Brown closely won his last race after him sustained Former Wyoming Highway Patrol, convicted of rape, calling it “man of God” in his sentence, a commentary that later regrets, but did because he and the former soldier have known each other for 15 years and attended the biblical training together S

The military was sentenced to 10-15 years in prison, despite the legislator’s words. This was after a reporter Landon Brown The appearance of CNN To vocalize his support for Liz Cheney and the dislike for now President Trump.

Some of these people just can’t read a room. They are so irrelevant to how ordinary people think I wonder if the big division will ever be repaired.

Luke Combs and Billy strings sang it best:

“Wearing crosses believe in dying

TEMPERS FLARE, the flame flies higher

As we twist closer to the sun

But I like to think too much damage is not done

We are all so far, so far apart now

It is as deep as it is wide

We are on our way to break up now

If we can’t get to the other side

We need to find a way through the great division. “

Like a wild fire, perhaps healing will only come after everything has been burned on the ground – naturally rejuvenating the system, clearing the rot, which blows the surface for too long.
