CASPER, Wyo. Will short-term cuts lead to increased costs for the State of Wyoming in the long-term or would spending now save the state money over the long haul?
That’s a question facing the Wyoming Legislature as they work to pass a balanced budget, as they are required to do under the Wyoming Constitution.
The Wyoming Senate took up debate of Senate File 01 on Monday, March 8. The budget bill as proposed by the Joint Appropriations Committee would include total reductions to expenditures from the state’s General Fund of about $445 million from the 2021-2022 biennial appropriations.
