Ron RichterGovernor Mark Gordon delivered his State of the State address Wednesday in the House Chambers during a joint session of the 68th Wyoming Legislature. Gordon said that Wyoming remains strong and vibrant and despite certain concerns, the state’s future is very bright.
Gordon said his supplemental budget recommends $7 million in inflation related expenses, $3.5 million to extend and expand the coal litigation fund, making it a natural resources litigation fund, support for access to obstetrics and mental health care providers and funding for firefighting and restoration of fire-ravaged lands after a record fire season.
Governor Gordon also thanked the Wyoming National Guard, State Troopers, exemplary Wyoming citizens, tribal leaders, members of the judiciary and other statewide elected officials. We’ll have more from Gordon’s State of the State Address in future stories.
