CASPER, Wyo The Natrona County Commission approved $500 bonuses for some 340 full-time county employees at their regular meeting Dec. 15.
Natrona County Clerk Tracy Good implored the commissioners to consider an initial $1000 bonus at a work session Dec 1. She said they were both “warranted and needed” in light of the toll of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and the extra work county employees took on responding to it.
“My staff was amazing, very professional, they withheld under pressure like no other,” Good told Oil City News.

The legislature s Joint Revenue Committee once again considered and voted against a bill that would have raised the generation tax on wind. This time from $1 per megawatt hour to $2 per megawatt hour. The bill would have also removed a three-year tax exemption enjoyed by wind energy producers.
The Legislative Service Office alongside the Wyoming Department of Revenue prepared estimates of how that might change the state s revenue picture. With both the changes, Wyoming s general fund and local governments could collectively see a roughly $27 million boost by 2029 based on current and future wind capacity from permitted wind projects.
