Never before heard audio from INSIDE a Wyoming County Commissioners meeting! It very clearly tells you which legislators are working for you and which ones are working for lobbying organizations. The Revenue Committee met last week and discussed a bill that would eliminate property taxes and replace them with an increased sales tax. Of course, the …

Weekend Update - You Didn't Build That 11/22 17:02

Governor Gordon claims that the role of government is to provide those services that individuals can't provide for themselves. There's no end to this line of thinking. It ends up with government giving your money to so-called non-profits; and it ends with budgets that are twice as big as a few years ago. His budget is littered with a whole bunch of…

Secretary of State Chuck Gray joins the program to talk about Gordon removing public notice money for the 50% tax reduction ballot initiative. Is the legislature black-listing emails from constituents? Slithers and Dennis claim that legislators can go dig them out of the junk or quarantine file. But who does this??? That and lots more!…

Gordon's Budget is Legalized Theft 11/19 19:24

9h ago19:24

19:24

The governor and his pals are claiming that the proposed budget is conservative--it's anything but that. According to his own math, to do the same thing as last year, it will cost almost a billion dollars less. Gordon wants to add another $1.9 Billion to it. Just a reminder, there's only 586,000 people in Wyoming. That's $19,000 for every man woman…

Is Everyone to Blame? Interview with Rep Hageman 11/12 21:31

11d ago21:31

21:31

The Democrats started the so called government shutdown. Despite what they claimed, none of it was about subsidies for Obamacare. That's clear now that the Senate has passed a continuing resolution. Though, the continuing resolution only funds the government through January 30. We may very well have another shutdown in a couple of months. Rep Harri…

Why is the Cowboy State Daily doing the exact same thing as progressive organizations in Wyoming?

A few weeks ago, Mark Meckler and Rick Green gave a presentation in Sheridan about the Convention of States. For two hours they gave their sales pitch. It sounded great, except there's a whole bunch they left out--criticism that might dissuade support. With a little reading, it's obvious an convention is the last thing we need to do as a country.

A majority of Americans get their news from social media. That's not such a bad thing if you understand what you are getting and you check the sources--if there are any sources.

Rod Miller can hear the sucking sound government subsidies make just as well as I can. But, he still thinks that some of them are okay. I think that it's not the government's job to pick winners are losers. It's always the small business person that gets hurt when politicians start monkeying around in the market.

After the brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk, Wyoming GOP Vice Chairman Bob Ferguson knew that he needed to do something.

Conservatives have a really hard time understanding why Democrats and their less honest counterparts in the Republican Party can lie so easily.
