One thing the legislators never seem to address is the fact that Wyoming retired employees haven’t had a COLA for going on 12 years. Makes a person feel that while working for the State of Wyoming employees are wonderful, yet upon retirement it’s more like “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out”. Almost like forgotten folks upon retirement!
