Govenor Gordon’s Town Hall Draws Large Crowd

On July 23, Governor Mark Gordon, along with Holly Krutka, UW School of Energy; Scott Stults, superintendent at SCSD#2; Dr. Walt Tribley, President of Sheridan College; and Michelle Wilson, EMIT Technologies, held a town hall meeting at Sheridan College.

In his opening remarks, Governor Gordon had this to say about the objective of the town hall.

A large crowd attended the event, and one young man, Nash Billings, led the Pledge of Allegiance, and Governor Gordon presented Billings with a token of his appreciation.

One of the topics that Gordon talked about was Wyoming’s Boom and Bust energy cycle, and how Wyoming can innovate with other industries.

He added that it was hard on Wyoming’s energy development during that time, but it had to be done.

Along with innovative businesses in the Sheridan area, the panel also discussed education with Scott Stults and Dr. Walt Tribley, as well as the energy industry, which is still an important part of Wyoming’s economy. Holly Krutka, UW School of Energy, and Michelle Wilson, EMIT Technologies, talked about the energy sector. Coal, coal bed methane, and carbon sequestration were discussed, but those will be other stories posted on this website.
