The Wyoming State Legislature had a busy day yesterday as they tackled a second day of the Budget Session yesterday. (Feb. 14) What was approved was a change with redistricting which allows Senator Curt Meier to retain his Senate seat. They also voted to remove language from a pending budget bill that had called for spending up to 15 million dollars to acquire land east of Laramie for protection of the area's aquifer. Things that were voted against included House Bill 39 that would have modified high school graduation and the state's Hathaway Scholarship program. They also voted against HB 45 that would have allowed consumers to back out of deals with roofing contractors and set restrictions on their operations. Also voted against was a bill that would have prohibited collective bargaining by public sector employees, a bill that would have increased the penalties for parents who refuse to send their children to school and SF 60, which would have required energy companies to disclose information about the composition of fluids used in hydraulic fracturing.
