CASPER â Gov. Mark Gordon on Friday issued an executive order directing state agencies to examine the financial effects of a moratorium on new federal oil and gas leases issued last week by President Biden.
The order further directs the state to explore potential legal options available to Wyoming, the governor announced in a statement.
âThese orders issued by the new administration are a direct attack on Wyoming and our way of life,â Gordon said in a statement. âI am directing members of my cabinet to examine the economic, financial and workforce impacts of the Presidentâs actions. I will continue to fight these misguided and destructive policies by all means necessary. The way to move America forward is not through crushing her Western states.â
