by Steve Klein In the 2024 Budget Session, a bipartisan group of legislators sponsored a "Freedom from government seizure act" that was largely an updated version of a bill that passed in 2015 to replace civil forfeiture under the Wyoming Controlled Substances Act with criminal forfeiture. If either bill became law, prosecutors in the Wyoming Attor...

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 A...

by Wyoming Liberty Group Forget, for the moment, the question of whether marijuana is bad for your health. (It is.) Let's face it: Some people will want to do things that might hurt them, like jumping into volcanoes, or smoking pot. But consider this: What about our environment?

Speech can be judged on its merits and...

by Wyoming Liberty Group Just when Wyoming lawmakers addressed the latest threat from marijuana, a new version of the mind-altering drug has found its way back into our state, creating yet another hazard. Little is known about the emerging drug, even as it quickly spreads throughout Wyoming. It's called Delta 10. It also could be called the latest ...

The state Senate wisely rejected an ill-conceived bill that would have complicated the problem of marijuana in the Cowboy State. But we can't rest easy.
