“It was my understanding that the government allotted $6,500 for each student back in August. What happened to the other half,” said Colin Brengam, a junior with a major in animal science.
Brengam is referring to an act proposed by the state legislature of Wyoming.
“That was our legislative committee working to draft a bill and pay tuition. We never came together to act the bill. The governor took our recommendation and the county commissioner said we could link it to the room and board. It expired on December 31 and we could only do one semester,” said Representative Steve Harshman from Natrona County.
