In their own words
When Roy H Edwards explained why
11 published reasons found for 2020.
The lawmaker opposes the amendment because it is inconsistent to allow young people to vote but deny them the right to make decisions about nicotine use.
The lawmaker opposes the amendment because he believes it is about abortion and does not want taxpayer money to help a provider who chose incorrect coverage.
The lawmaker supports the amendment as a necessary step toward making cuts, even if these specific reductions are not perfectly targeted.
The lawmaker supports Amendment Three because he believes residents are price-sensitive and should not be taxed for tourism advertising they do not consume.
The lawmaker opposes the bill based on past experience where steep tax liabilities prevented new companies from taking over bankrupt mineral operations, suggesting that forgiving some taxes is necessary to allow transfers.
The lawmaker supports rescinding the resolution because an Article V convention could lead to replacing the current Constitution, which they wish to preserve.
The lawmaker argues that the bill incorrectly removes the elected state treasurer from their role as chief investment officer, asserting this position was established because they are an elected official. They urge a no vote to ensure the elected treasurer remains responsible for investment returns.
County reserve accounts.
The lawmaker opposes the bill because it allows county commissioners to use reserve funds for projects without seeking voter approval, which they believe is incorrect.
The lawmaker opposes the bill because adding more committees threatens the part-time nature of the legislature and could disqualify citizen legislators from serving.
Fishing task force.
The lawmaker voted against the bill because he believes it attempts to address a regional problem in western Wyoming by applying a statewide solution, and views it as an effort for businesses to protect their market share.
