The protest was organized by Rep. Scott Clem, R-Gillette, who has been a vocal opponent of any statewide mandates.
CHEYENNE – About 250 people demonstrated in front of the Wyoming State Capitol Monday afternoon to protest a statewide mask mandate and other COVID-19 related restrictions.
Calls to Stop the tyranny, Free Wyoming and make Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon a one-term governor, were the rallying cries the protesters belted out after about an hour of listening to elected officials and other citizens decry the mask mandate, including outgoing Rep. Scott Clem, R-Gillette, who challenged people to burn their masks.
CHEYENNE â About 250 people demonstrated in front of the Wyoming State Capitol on Monday afternoon to protest a statewide mask mandate and other coronavirus-related restrictions.
Calls to âStop the tyranny,â âFree Wyomingâ and make Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon a âone-term governorâ were the rallying cries the protesters belted out after about an hour of listening to elected officials and other citizens decry the mask mandate, including outgoing Rep. Scott Clem, R-Gillette, who challenged people to burn their masks.
âAt some of these rallies, you see the radical left go out there, and they burn Bibles and flags. You know what I think about burning? Masks,â Clem told the crowd.
is right now. well into the 70s, near 80 downtown. 79 degrees in the nation s capital. ocean city is at 69. winchester is at 71. here is the look at the satellite radar. no precipitation, but there are a few clouds. so it s a mix of clouds and sun during the early morning hours and that s what we ll see during the course of the day today. the pain thing you want to know about later on today is there is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. hazy, hot and humid, partly sunny, scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms late in the afternoon. high of 91 degrees. i think the best chance of precipitation will be during the evening hours when we see some of the thunderstorms pop up. not everyone will get them but some of you will. that s a look at the weather. more coming up shortly. thank you, tony. let s check if with lauren for a look at traffic. hi, lauren. good morning, guys. we re following the situation on the 14th street bridge northbound across the bridge,
