Governor Gordon Releases Supplemental Budget Proposal

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon released his supplemental biennium budget proposal during a media conference Friday. Gordon said his supplemental budget proposal provides a thoughtful approach to addressing inflation, visionary investments, and saving for the future.

Gordon said revenues are up due to Wyoming’s natural resources commanding high prices.

Gordon said the supplemental budget that he’s proposing would put almost half of the surplus into savings.

Additionally, the Governor has proposed allocating funding in several urgent areas to maintain safe and healthy communities and protect Wyoming’s economy, including addressing mental and behavioral health service gaps, hardening cyberinfrastructure, enhancing security at state prisons and protecting our natural resource industries by controlling invasive species and predators. Governor Gordon will present this Supplemental Budget to the Joint Appropriations Committee on December 8, 2022. The Governor’s budget message can be found here.
