Governor Gordon made a stunning announcement on Feb 18th that he is supporting a “significant land purchase”. This is stunning for a number of reasons:
- The reasons for this purchase are extremely vague and have many WY Citizens questioning, “WTH?!”
- The current legislative bills that appropriate the money never state the dollar amount (See HB0249 & SF0138)
- HB0222 provides for the State Land Investment Board to make exceptions to our public meetings laws – they would prefer to have private meetings to keep the details of this land grab away from WY citizens
- HB0037 expedites unknown details of the process
- Just 10 days ago Gordon made his State of the State speech and he never uttered a word of this land deal.
- Just under 4 months ago Gordon said, “Wyoming is facing leaner times. We will have to find a few new holes in our belt.” (AP News)
