State Senator Dave Kinskey (R-Senate District 22) is in Cheyenne for this year’s legislative budget session and has been updating Sheridan Media during the session.
In his most recent interview, he discussed the Senate’s first Joint Conference Committee, which he was a part of, trying to reach an agreement with their House counterparts.
The JCC was scheduled to present their final budget to both chambers of the legislature Thursday morning for review and debate.
Kinskey said he hoped property tax relief would still be part of the focus.
Kinskey reiterated that the goal should be to not spend so much that there’s no room for real, significant, immediate property tax relief.

It’s simple. Limit the amount of our money that the gov’t gets it’s hands on, and we limit the amount of our money they can spend and/or waste.
Lower Taxes Are Always Better!
Want lower property taxes? Vote FOR lower sales taxes.
That puts less money in gov’t coffers and forces them to be more responsible.
We shouldn’t have to trade one tax for the other. Lower ALL taxes and Demand the gov’t spend more efficiently.

You’re right, Dennis. Some politicians said we can have tax reform BUT let them implement a 2% sales tax. No way. Fix, not trade. Kinskey has done little until this election year, but he did try. The Senate did have a decent budget, unlike the House. However- like diapers, it’s time for change.

We should always pay attention to what our state gov’t rep’s are doing and be critical if they are “mis-representing” us. We should also act locally to lower taxes wherever and whenever we can. Key examples are the 1% Cap Tax and the 1% Excess tax that we can vote on every election cycle. Together they increase the state 4% Sales Tax to a state-high 6%. Most people could sure use a tax break right now and all we have to do is vote to lower our sales tax to a more reasonable, 5%.
I’m voting for lower taxes…..Always!
