Governor Gordon Recaps Budget Session During News Conference

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon held a news conference Monday afternoon to recap the budget session of the Wyoming Legislature that concluded last week. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

The 20-day budget session that began on February 14 came to a close late Friday night in Cheyenne. Governor Mark Gordon discussed the session Monday at a news conference and said in his opening statement that overall he was pleased with what was accomplished by legislators.

Gordon said the $2.8 billion biennial budget is $400 million less than the budget that was approved two years ago and the smallest budget for the State in a decade. The Governor also addressed American Rescue Plan Act funding.

Gordon also talked about vetoes on the budget and the ARPA appropriations bill.
