John L. Freeman has announced his bid for the Democratic nomination for Wyoming House District 60. Representative Bill Thompson previously held this seat and has recently announced his retirement from the Legislature. House District 60 is centered in Green River. Freeman believes in targeted rather than a percentage cut across all agencies. Freeman would like to see the legislature reduce state savings to the amount required by current statute and constitutional mandates until revenues return. Currently, Wyoming is adding to it"s savings accounts above the requirements. At the same time, Wyoming roads and highways are in need of repairs and need immediate attention. One estimate shows the state needs 230 million dollars to keep the roads in decent shape. Freeman believes that we should be investing in Wyoming instead of Wall Street to protect Wyoming Jobs and infrastructure which is important in this tough economy.
