ROCK SPRINGS After deciding to stop pursuing the 2020 special purpose tax initiative due to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn, the Rock Springs City Council is starting those conversations again for the proposed 2022 special purpose tax initiative.
During a special Council meeting tonight, the Council reviewed its 2020 special purpose tax priority list to see if those proposed projects are still viable for the 2022 special purpose tax ballot initiative.
Councilor Keaton West, who is the Council’s liaison on the special purpose tax committee, led the discussion.

CHEYENNE A bill aimed to take a jab at the $300 million education funding shortfall died in the Wyoming Legislature Wednesday after the Senate and House couldn’t come to an agreement.
At the start of the legislative session, education funding was a the forefront of concerns with several bills targeting K-12 funds. However, most of those bills failed to advance and attention was placed on two bills in particular: House Bill 173 and Senate File 143.

The House did not consider the Senate file for introduction after it passed through the Senate.
