We took our final vote of the session on HB 140-School Finance amendments. I voted against this casting a “no” vote. This cuts education statewide about $30 million. In Campbell County it cuts our schools $769,379 next year in addition to the $1.8 million cuts from lost enrollment. We didn’t cut general operations of gov’t this session, instead we increased funding. On top of that we grew gov’t by spending $42 million from the emergency rainy day fund on ENDOW. So we grew gov’t, but cut education? Very disappointing. I’m in favor of cuts, but it seems our priorities are backwards.

“I have a strong record that reflects social and fiscal conservatism, and I look forward to using my skills to further represent the greatest group of people in Wyoming.”

These are my thoughts on some of the issues we face: Education: “Common Core (CC) is the socialization of education; Wyoming can do better. School boards/districts should be accountable to parents.” The Environment:: “I don’t believe that CO2 is a pollutant, and am furious of the EPA’s overreach.” “Marriage and social issues: “Our intrusive federal government has been violating the 10th Amendment.” “Public land: Should Washington D.C. bureaucrats control half our state and our minerals, and thereby our jobs? NO! Let Wyomingites control their own lands, minerals and our own future!
