A legislative committee voted 5-0 to advance a bill that could limit Wyoming municipalitiesâ authority over municipal utilities after hearing testimony from Jackson landowner Nikki Gill.
Gillâs plea came during a Senate Agriculture, State and Public Lands and Water Resources Committee hearing Thursday, which pit property rights and local control advocates against one another.
It was also the first time the debate over the Gill familyâs push to develop its Teton County property has involved officials from all corners of Wyoming.
Gill told the committee the town of Jackson is improperly leveraging a wastewater connection to secure deed-restricted affordable housing.
