There's an attempt to create a Wyoming aristocracy--that we should only listen to those who are from here.  That's a silly argument and a piece in the Cow Pie explains it succinctly.  Also, the Sheridan City Council predictably went ahead with their giveaway.

Protests were held across the state this weekend.  I went down and talked with a few of them.  Apparently I don't understand why they're protesting because I'm a just a white male.  I am not even kidding.  After talking with them, it's clear they don't know why they're protesting either.

Every county and city in Wyoming gives away your tax dollars to ridiculous causes--cat shelters, business development organizations and a whole host of others.  The Wyoming Constitution is clear: government can't do that unless it's to support the poor.  But local governments, state-wide, ignore that.  A recent Sheridan City Council Meeting is a perfect example.

Interview with Rep Tony Locke.  Property Taxes and the Rocky Mountain Power rate hike.

Ever wondered why your emails hardly ever get a response?  It could be they're sent directly to spam.  Some legislators don't see a problem with that.  During a recent Management Council meeting, senators and representatives discussed how their email system handles bulk emails.  They're response tells you a lot about their view of your participation.

Rep Tom Kelly joins the program to talk about schools, spending and his vote on HB64 the ultra-sound requirement for abortions.  Tom was one of the few legislators to vote against it all the way through.

Rebecca Bextel is running to be the Chairman of the Wyoming Republican Party.  She sat down with me earlier this week for an in depth interview.  Also, Mark Gordon chooses Bridget Hill to fill the vacancy on the Wyoming Supreme Court.

On Saturday's Weekend Update, Rebecca Bextel joins the program to discuss her run to be the chairman of the Wyoming Republican Party.  If you want to get to know her, this is the interview.
