2019 General Session 2019 GENERAL SESSION CONNECTING WYOMING’S PEOPLE TO THEIR GOVERNMENT WELCOME TO THE PEOPLE’S REVIEW Dear Friends: I’m honored to introduce the Equality State Policy Center’s third annual People’s Review. Thanks to your support and your interest, we’ve been able to create this tool following each Wyoming State legislative session since 2017—and it remains a unique offering in this state. Thank you for using it and supporting this project! Our primary goal with the People’s Review is to make it easy for all Wyoming people to track how state legislators voted on important issues—especially at the moments in the session when their votes mattered most. This should help us all gain some important insights into our lawmakers’ values, priorities, and vision(s) for Wyoming. We also hope this year’s edition of the Peoples Review will inspire us all to raise the level of our civic engagement and get involved as much as we can with our state government in the days, weeks, and months ahead. If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken to heart the basic fact that the quality of our government relies on informed and engaged voters like you staying informed and engaged over time. It’s a never-ending task, but also a meaningful and rewarding one. So, thank you for your interest and thank you for helping make Wyoming government better year after year! IMPORTANT NOTE: While vote records are generally a good indicator of where legislators stand on the issues, at times they might not reflect the nuances of their positions or the specific reasons behind a given vote. And legislators can often be persuaded to change their positions, especially if they hear from constituents like you. So, we encourage you to contact your legislators if you have any questions or just want to have a conversation about one or more of the issues they considered during the last session. They ran for office with the understanding that, if elected, they were signing up for public service. So, they expect (and need) to hear from you to help them do a better job. In our experience, lawmakers tend to be very approachable and nearly all of them are willing to listen and consider your views, even if they disagree. Thank you again for staying informed and engaging with Wyoming’s government. And please share this tool with any of your friends, neighbors, and family members who might also be interested!

We believe Wyoming already has it right when it comes to voter registration. Same-day registration and the freedom to change one’s party affiliation honors our state constitution and respects the intelligence of Wyoming voters. It also protects their rights as citizens to make up their minds—and change their minds—when and how they see fit. Medicaid and SNAP Eligibility Requirements (SF 144 – Failed – Opposed) This misguided bill had the potential to harm thousands of Wyoming’s most economically vulnerable people by taking away their Medicaid coverage. It’s important to note that Medicaid does not help people pay rent or utilities or buy food or put gas in their cars. People use Medicaid simply to access health care while they’re working low-paying jobs that don’t offer health insurance or to help them maintain their medical care and pay for essential treatments and prescriptions while they’re between jobs. Contrary to some misinformation that was disseminated during the 2019 session, the vast majority of Medicaid enrollees do indeed have jobs, and nearly all recipients lack access to any other form of affordable health insurance. Public Records (SF 57 – Passed – Supported) While not a fix-all for Wyoming’s problems with government transparency, this bill is an important step in the right direction when it comes to improving government responsiveness to public records requests. This law creates a deadline for compliance with requests, and, in a bit of an experiment, it also creates an ombudsman in the executive branch—a point person for the general public—whose job will be to help people who are requesting public records to work with government entities to get the information they are requesting when lawful. Time will tell how successful this approach will be. There is still much to be done to improve other aspects of government transparency in Wyoming and it’s also likely this bill will need to be improved in the years to come. Campaign Finance Revisions (SF 18 – Passed – Supported) This bill closes a previous, glaring loophole in Wyoming’s campaign finance law by requiring third parties (e.g. PACs and Super PACs) that engage in what’s called “electioneering” (disparaging or promoting individual candidates) to report their spending on these activities. This type of reporting was previously not required by law in Wyoming. Voter Fraud Prevention (HB 192 – Failed – Opposed) In the name of preventing non-existent voter fraud, this bill would have unfairly suppressed the vote of many poor, elderly, and minority citizens in Wyoming. The voter verification system in place in counties throughout Wyoming works very well, is much more fair, and is less costly.

It would counties in their district, we organized have then required pay rate adjustments to promote wage county regions based upon the county equity between men and women. predominately located within a legislator’s district. Minimum Wage In almost all cases, the third-reading (HB 273 – Failed – Supported) vote was used as the featured vote in The People’s Review. Had it passed, this bill would have increased the minimum wage in Wyoming from $5.15 to $8.50 with an increase of $0.25 per We believe this vote is generally the most year until 2025. accurate reflection of the lawmaker’s position. Sexual Assault Parental Rights However, In a couple cases (HB22 and (HB 107 – Passed – Supported) HB308) we used the concurrence votes This bill allows survivors of sexual assault to petition the court to instead of the third reading votes—because terminate the parental rights of a rapist.

  • Voting Record on Voting Record Small Business Issues 2016 Edition
    2016 | Wyoming YOUR LEGISLATORS’ VOTING RECORD ON VOTING RECORD SMALL BUSINESS ISSUES 2016 EDITION 2015–16 SESSION: Floor votes by your state legislators on key small business issues are listed inside. The Voting Record does not reflect all elements considered by a lawmaker when voting, nor does it represent a complete profile of a legislator, but it can be a guide in evaluat- ing a legislator’s attitude toward small business. Many issues affecting small business are decided in committees and never make it to the floor of the House or Senate. Unfortunately, there were not enough contrasting Senate floor votes to develop a voting record that provided any insight into a legislator’s level of support for small business issues. Please thank those legislators who supported small business and continue to work with those who have fallen short. 2015 4.

  • 6.0 Consultation and Coordination
    Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Final EIS Chapter 6.0 – Consultation and Coordination 6-1 6.0 Consultation and Coordination This EIS was conducted in accordance with NEPA requirements, CEQ regulations, and the DOI and BLM policies and procedures implementing NEPA. NEPA and the associated laws, regulations, and policies require the BLM to seek public involvement early in, and throughout, the planning process to develop a reasonable range of alternatives to PCW’s Proposed Action and prepare environmental documents that disclose the potential impacts of alternatives considered. Public involvement and agency consultation and coordination, which have been at the heart of the process leading to this draft EIS, were achieved through FR notices, public and informal meetings, individual contacts, media releases, and the project website. From the initial proposal of the project, the public and agencies have been approached for input on the project scope and development, as discussed in Chapter 1.0. This chapter describes this public involvement process as well as other key consultation and coordination. 6.1 Agency Participation and Coordination Specific regulations require the BLM to coordinate and consult with federal, state, and local agencies about the potential of the project and alternatives to affect sensitive environmental and human resources. The BLM initiated these coordination and consultation activities through the scoping process and has maintained them through regular meetings regarding key topics (e.g., alternatives and impact analyses)
