National Park Bill

A Wyoming state senator from Casper and a state representative from Jackson Hole say they’re close to compromising on bills that have opposite visions for 1,405 acres of state school land in Grand Teton National Park.
Sen. Kit Jennings, of Casper, said he has been working with Rep. Ruth Ann Petroff over their competing bills.
He said he would introduce a bill allowing the state parks division to build a hotel on the land and run snowmobile tours to showcase wolves eating elk; Petroff wants to sell the property to the federal government for $107 million so it is conserved as part of the national park.
