Legislature Set to Finalize Governor's Budget Proposal

The Wyoming Legislature will soon finalize the State's Supplemental Budget. Both the House and Senate have passed versions of the budget, which save more than a billion dollars for future generations. The budget also makes strategic investments in Wyoming's people.
The House and Senate will soon negotiate a final budget and Governor Mark Gordon is appreciative of their work. The savings allow the state to generate investment returns that will keep taxes low for years to come. The budget also addresses inflation and helps citizens by expanding the property tax refund program. The Governor also supports addressing mental and behavioral health service gaps with the budget.
