Governor’s Budget Proposal Focuses on Wyoming’s Future

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon added details to the supplemental budget proposal this week and those details were presented in 21 supplemental budget letters to the Legislature’s Joint Appropriations Committee. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

Governor Gordon’s budget proposal emphasizes addressing inflationary pressures facing the people of Wyoming, saving for future generations, and making some strategic investments.

Gordon, in a media release issued Thursday, said one key proposal of his budget is to offer property tax relief for those most impacted by inflation – seniors and those living on fixed incomes. The Governor said that many Wyoming low-to-moderate income households struggle to meet the increased burden of rising property taxes, especially those on fixed incomes. The Wyoming Legislature established the Wyoming Property Tax Refund program, which is designed to help provide relief to citizens most impacted by the regressive economic effects of inflation. Gordon added that the Property Tax Relief program offers a hand-up for our seniors and low-income households struggling to make ends meet right now.
