Uniparty Elitists are Trying to Destroy Wyoming
Representative Bill Allemand
January 14, 2024
Dear Friends,
Why are the elitists in the Wyoming House of Representatives trying to
destroy our great state? They proved last session that they support big taxes,
big spending and big pharma.
While the people are struggling with higher property taxes, high
inflation, much higher gas prices, higher electricity and propane prices, the
elitists wanted to spend $750,000 to have a mural painted on a wall of the
State House chambers. Your Freedom Caucus got that stopped.
A recent guest column written by legislative leadership called out the Freedom
Caucus and their conservative allies for voting against the supplemental
budget, bragging that $1.4 billion was stashed in state savings.
I stand proudly by my decision to vote against a budget that committed to
more spending than it saved. The supplemental budget increased annual spending
by $110 million while the “savings” only promises to generate $65 million in
revenue. I can’t vote to spend more than I earn.
However, the Uniparty Elitists, 31 Republicans and 5 Democrats, felt it
was better to spend a bunch before we saved any, or better yet, to give some
back to the taxpayers.
Legislative leaders also decried my bill ( HB116 ) to prohibit China,
Russia, and other state sponsors of terror from owning Wyoming land and
minerals, claiming it would be a waste of money.
The only time my bill to ban foreign ownership of land threatened to
spend your tax dollars was when a Representative amended it during a committee
hearing, tacking on an unnecessary $5 million price tag so that later, he and
his friends could vote it down. It worked.
Because this appropriation was added, the bill had to go to the
Appropriations Committee, where many good bills were sent to die.
I encourage you to examine the votes on every bill, to track where each
bill was sent, and to form your own opinion as to who has your best interest in
mind in Cheyenne. It might surprise you.
Check out wyoleg.gov. Many
Wyomingites already have, and this is starting to worry the elitists.
It will be very interesting in the upcoming legislative session to see
how the same legislators who voted against property tax caps, against property
tax relief, against parental rights, against foreign land ownership, and for
mask mandates will vote in an election year.
This upcoming session I will be sponsoring several bills. I will again
attempt to prohibit foreign ownership of Wyoming’s lands, minerals, or mineral
extraction, or companies by China, Russia, and other state sponsors of terror.
I will also run a bill to stop the tracking of gun and ammunition sales
by credit card companies. I will co-sponsor tax relief bills, as there are
several good bills that will give true relief.
Thank You for your time, and as always you can reach me on my phone or
email.
