The legislature should immediately take back their authority as the one and only law-makers in Wyoming. The governor ONLY has temporary authority to issue emergency orders. Those laws should now expire, now that our representatives are in session. Additionally, our rep’s should Prohibit the governor from issuing any more Covid-related orders. He is not our law-maker, our duly-elected rep’s are. We need to return to the constitutional republican form of gov’t that is guaranteed in the US and Wyoming Constitutions. We don’t want a repeat of Michigan, here in Wyoming!
