A controversial measure proposed by a Northern Colorado county that if passed, would make it a part of Wyoming has gained the support of our northern neighbors governor.
The measure was introduced in Weld County, Colorado, a county north of Denver and bordering Wyoming which is primarily known as being home to the city of Greeley. If passed, Weld County would secede from Colorado and become a county in the state of Wyoming instead.
The proposed measure is heavily politically motivated, as not only is Wyoming the least populated state in the United States, it is also heavily conservative in nature. Weld County is also heavily politically conservative largely due to the oil and gas as well as the beef-producing industries that account for a great amount of the county s monetary income and jobs.
