Governor Gordon Statement on the Decision by the Wyoming Senate to Not Pass a Supplemental Budget
CHEYENNE, WYO – Governor Mark Gordon has issued a statement following an announcement by the Wyoming Senate that it will not pass a supplemental budget. The Governor's statement follows:
“Since taking office I have submitted balanced budgets to the legislature that are carefully analyzed, well-vetted and reflect what I consider a common sense view of what’s best for the people of Wyoming. I opened this session by explaining that this supplemental budget was focused on emergencies and unanticipated expenses.
Unfortunately, this legislature has overlooked emergencies and ignored unanticipated expenses in a quest for political talking points. This is what occurs in a “no compromise” environment.
I would hope that our legislators have their constituents' best interests in mind, and I remain optimistic that they will refocus their attention to address the most important issues facing Wyoming at this time. These would certainly include fire suppression and recovery; funding the property tax relief program; and addressing inflation in school funding. It is hard to raise a calf or drill a well on rhetoric alone.”
