by Steve Klein Eight years ago, WyLiberty supported a Drone Protection Act that would require law enforcement to get a warrant before using an unmanned aerial vehicle (that's a fancy term for "drone") to search private property in criminal investigations. The bill, sponsored by the Joint Judiciary Committee, passed the Wyoming House but then died i...

by Susan Gore Nuclear energy is three times more costly than combined cycle energy (natural gas plus steam). Roughly, if a monthly household electric bill were $85 for natural gas energy, the bill would be about $255 for nuclear reactor energy. Coal power is less expensive than nuclear power and considerably more expensive than the market winner, n...

by Susan Gore An illusion occurs when something is accepted as real when it is not real. A mirage is an optical illusion. One sees what appears to be water where no water exists. Mirages hover over hot pavements and the hot ground of deserts. An old fable tells of a desert traveler who sets out alone on a faint path leading to an oasis. Hours later...

by Wyoming Liberty Group Staff Wyoming campaign finance law, or "campaign finance reform" if you prefer, is pointless and counterproductive.

The stated objective is to provide a health care yet the end result is rationing. Government is automatically an inefficient way to pay providers- first because it is inflexib...

by Guest Comment Submission Having the Revenue Committee introduce a Medicaid Expansion bill into the legislature is like having your three-year-old do your grocery shopping. It's all ice cream, popsicles, and candy. Only to make the metaphor more accurate, your three-year-old goes out and finds fifty more toddlers who then spend all of your grocer...

During the final moments of the Senate Labor, Health, and Social Services committee meeting this morning, some pro-MedEx folks raised questions about the facts surrounding Medicaid expansion in the state of Montana. For those who need the truth, here is an excellent research piece from Hayden Dublois. Hayden is a research analyst for FGA, he testif...
