In this episode of "Eye on the Issues," we sit down with Rep. Ken Clouston, the House of Representatives member for District 32, to delve into the recent Wyoming legislative session. This year's session, primarily focused on budget and finance, covered a diverse range of crucial topics. One of the standout discussions was on the Education Savings Accounts (ESA) bill, which Rep.

Clouston shares insights into other key bills he supported, such as the Prior Authorization Regulations (HB14) to streamline the medical insurance process, the Property Tax Exemption—Residential Structures and Land (HB45) to cap property tax increases, and the School Safety and Security Amendments (HB102) to enhance school safety measures.
