Troy McKeown on the Budget 3/7

Sen Troy McKeown from Gillette joins me to discuss the budget and what happened with the Budget Joint Conference Committee.  Also, Rep Martha Lawley ironically and self-reflectingly calls ME a liar in an email to a constituent.  Here's my response.

What They Say and What They Do 3/6

What politicians say and what they do are two different things.  Redcoats constantly do this with the 2nd Amendment.  When it's election time they love the 2nd Amendment but when it comes time to vote it's a different Story.

Weekend Update - All On Albert's Shoulders 3/2

Albert Sommers and Ogden Driskill are to blame for whatever dysfunction is happening in Cheyenne.  They set it up that way from the very beginning.  There's another gun bill still alive.  It's SF109, the Prohibit Red Flag Gun Seizure Act.  Perplexingly, it's sponsor doesn't want it to mirror Wyoming's SAPA law.

Your Very Last Dime 2/26

If you think the Wyoming Caucus is interested in giving you a tax break, you really need to think again.  Rep Mark Jennings ran an amendment to give you a break of $80 and they wouldn't even do that.  They're Redcoats.  Don't ever forget that!

Not as Funny as They Think 2/14

Happy Valentines Day! There are lots of things that happen on the House floor that you don't ever see.  To some of them it's funny when they can hide their votes.  HB22 was a tax on streaming services.  It was killed by conservatives.  But, it's what happened after everyone had voted that you need to pay attention to.  It's funny to them.  So much for transparency. 

Morning Reload - The Gov's Bad Math 2/12

Prudent and fiscally conservative is the last thing the Governor's budget is.  Accurate is the last thing the Cow Pie's article about it is.  The Department of Revenue has responded to reports of the DOR training lobbyists.  It's as laughable as the article about it.

Weekend Update - Northrup's Mirror 2/10

Rep David Northrup claims that he's a "Reagan Era Republican."  He claims that HB19 is a fantastic piece of legislation while calling Rep Jennings a hypocrite.  If he's looking for hypocrisy, he need only look in the mirror.
