HB-14 would establish “Mountain Daylight Time”, creat- ing a single time zone for Wyoming that would not be subject to daylight saving. “Daylight savings time is an antiquated system,” says Senator Ogden Driskill, who is co-sponsoring a bill to abolish daylight savings for the third time since joining the Wyoming Senate. Driskill believes that Wyomingites are pretty much evenly split between liking and disliking daylight savings. “Changing time leads to many accidents, higher rates of people being late to work and even some deaths,” he continues. “The facts are well documented.” Representative Tyler Lindholm agrees that daylight savings have negative effects on our lifestyle here in the Midwest. “I support this legislation due to the fact that I have children, much like many of the readers of this paper. The unnecessary time change wrecks those kids for a few weeks each time, and it is not needed,” he says. “Also take into consideration that the majority of our area works in agriculture or energy. Their schedule will either be dawn to dusk, or 12 hour shifts.” Cold soles It may have been frosty and slick on Sunday morning, but that didn’t The bill references the Standard Time Act of 1918, which es- stop more than 60 runners and 30 walkers from joining in the fun of the tablished standard time zones for the United States that were year’s chilliest race.

For example, if Colorado, South Dakota and Nebraska all decided to get rid of daylight savings, HB-14 would come into effect. At that point, the governor of Wyoming would apply to the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to transfer the state to the zone designated as standard central time in the Standard Time Act of 1918. “I supported HB-14 because it requires that other states join us before we make the change. That way were not abandoning Wyoming as its own timezone,” says Lindholm. “That could be detrimental for border towns like those in Crook and Weston County. When other states adopt, we can make the change one more time in the spring and forget about it.” First things first CCMSD board pumps the fundraising brakes until plans become clear BY SARAH PRIDGEON The Crook County Medical Services District Board of Trust- Jeff Moberg photos ees is gearing up to revitalize the Hulett Clinic, potentially in a new building with additional space to allow a more diverse offering of services.

  • 2020-Net-Metering-Fa
    HELP WYOMING SAVE ROOFTOP SOLAR (AGAIN!) ​ ​ Public comment needed to kill upcoming draft bill on net metering BACKGROUND Net metering is a policy that allows owners of small, on-site renewable energy systems (homes, schools, and businesses) to get credit for the extra power they supply to the electricity grid. For example, when a homeowner’s rooftop solar panels generate more power than what is needed on sunny days, the excess electricity is sent to the grid and can be used by neighbors. Net metering allows the owners of the solar array to get credit for this extra energy supplied to the grid, which they can use later in the year, covering the cost of future electricity needs. Currently, Wyoming law only allows small residential-sized systems — 25 kilowatts or less — to be eligible for net metering credit. The Wyoming State Legislature’s Interim Corporations, Elections & Political Subdivisions Committee is considering a bill that would dramatically overhaul the existing net metering statute governing rooftop solar and other distributed energy sources. The bill contains amendments to existing net metering law that will make small scale renewable systems much less affordable for Wyomingites by reducing the amount they are paid for 1 the energy these systems produce. T​ o be clear, altering the viability of net metering means killing ​ businesses like rooftop solar companies in Wyoming by eliminating important financial incentives and ​ adding considerable economic uncertainty for existing and future net-metered customers. Additionally, if this bill were to pass, it would make net metering optional and give utilities the ability to set unfavorable terms for those with net-metered facilities.

Wyoming Citizens need to understand how crucial it is to kill this bill and act on it THIS WEEKEND! As usual, there is a lot of in-depth info behind the bill and it is challenging to encapsulate it in a short summary. This is our best attempt to do just that – by giving you the short story as well as the longer story for those who prefer to know the necessary details. Whether you choose to read the short story, the long story, or both – please be sure to read page 4 on how to proactively move forward to KILL HB0079. AT A GLANCE - NEED TO KNOW INFO ABOUT HB0079 The bill wants to eliminate the ONLY recall law that exists in the state of Wyoming. That law is §15-4-110. The recall law likely EFFECTS OVER 79,000 WYOMING CITIZENS who reside in Wyoming Charter Cities and Towns – namely Gillette, Green River, Jackson, Cody, Douglas, Powell and Afton Eliminating the recall law indirectly effects ALL Wyoming Citizens HB0079 likely violates Article 3, Section 27 of our WY State Constitution (Special and local laws prohibited) Unless the bill sponsors have the conviction and courage to pull this bill, it is isn’t likely to be killed in committee because 3 of the sponsors serve on the (Corporations) committee who will vote on it If HB0079 passes to the Senate, recall in WY will likely end for an unknown and extended amount of time The Short Story What we have heard: The bills primary sponsor, Tyler Lindholm (R) (House District 1, Crook/Weston County) originally wanted to offer a resolution for a WY State Constitutional Amendment to create recall capability for citizens for every level of government.

    Land Conservation Assistance Network 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Conservation for a Better America 2018 Annual Report l 1 Our mission is to promote the protection of endangered species, farms, forests, wetlands, and other open spaces, by empowering landowners to make smart, sustainable decisions about their land. 2 l Land Conservation Assistance Network Welcome to the Land Conservation Assistance Network! hat an amazing journey for the Land Conservation Assistance Network W (LandCAN). Over the past 18 years, thousands of individuals and businesses have visited our websites to find around 42,000 resources that help them make the best deci- sions about how to manage their land. In 2018, we continued to see a significant growth in the number of people we’ve been able to help. It’s heartwarming to know that our small organization with a staff of five in Falmouth, Maine makes this possible. We are a hidden gem in the beautiful State of Maine. We’ve received calls from landowners in the south who needed help following the devastation of hurricanes and tornadoes. People from California have used our resources following the aftermath of massive wildfires that destroyed their homes and livelihoods. LandCAN has helped landowners connect with businesses such as a woodland owner with a professional forester to create a sustainable forest management plan. These are a few examples of ways that LandCAN has assisted landowners in finding solutions. Some of you may not be aware that two years ago, we underwent a name change from Resources First Foundation to the Land Conservation Assistance Network. Research showed that the new name better reflects the mission and purpose of our organization.
