Colorado and other legalized Marijuana States are only now beginning to see the big flaws in law enforcement, healthcare issues, and bottom-line buy-ins that marijuana is the best healer of pain.

The bill, sponsored by the Joint Judiciary Committee, passed the Wyoming House but then died i... "Premature protectionism of agencies and bodies will hinder progress." This was the key message delivered by the Wyoming Liberty Group to the Judiciary Committee when they convened for their second meeting on August 15thand 16th. The Committee agreed, and in a sweeping vote, killed Senator Tara Nethercott's motion to move forward on drafting a bill... by Philip Baron The State of Wyoming has a new law on the books that will obligate electric, public utilities who are not cooperatives, to purchase coal-generated electricity. The law also limits the rate of recovery costs for the purchaser of the retired plant. Cost recovery is the costs to regain the value of an expense, usually done as the depre... ![](https://www.wyliberty.org/images/easyblog_articles/1126/b2ap3_large_Difference_Between_Ave_2017_Gov_Wages.jpg) by Philip Baron In 2017 Wyoming had 292 state and local government employees per 1,000 people working in the private sector (according to employment data from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics). The state government made up 5.4%1 of the employment in the state in 2017. Local government made up 16.7% of the state's employment for the same year.
