Wyoming lawmakers go after funding for state associations that sometimes oppose their bills
Wyoming lawmakers are reviving a debate with deep implications for local control: should taxpayer dollars fund membership in associations that help cities and counties advocate in Cheyenne? Supporters call these groups essential—offering legal clarity, training, and a voice for small towns. But some legislators, including Rep. Marlene Brady, argue that public funds shouldn’t support organizations that might oppose state-level bills. Despite strong pushback from local officials, the issue isn’t settled. A new round of discussion is set for August, and the stakes are high for Wyoming’s smallest communities. Maggie Mullen with WyoFile has the full story on a meta-issue that’s beginning to surface in places like North Dakota, too.
