Novotny hopes that with the passing of these bills in combination with the property tax relief program, residents of the Cowboy State will begin to feel more at ease while the state awaits results on the upcoming election when residents will have an opportunity to vote on a change to the Wyoming Constitution and create a fourth class (residential) in the tax code.
