In their own words
When Pederson explained why
10 published reasons found for 2011.
The lawmaker supports the amendment, believing it is a good thing to consider alternative currencies and economic impacts during times of declining dollar value.
Health care freedom.
The lawmaker opposes the amendment, arguing that if voters approve the bill, the state has a duty ('shall') to protect those rights rather than leaving it optional.
The lawmaker supports the bill as a complementary tool to traditional tourism budgets that exposes Wyoming to the outside world and encourages visitors to see specific locations featured in films.
The lawmaker supports the measure because it creates a market for Wyoming's natural gas, demonstrates fuel efficiency along I-80, and is financially profitable.
The lawmaker expresses caution about the broad language of the bill due to concerns regarding animal disease contagion and potential liability for food poisoning cases.
Tip sharing.
The lawmaker supports the bill to ensure fair compensation for all staff members involved in food preparation and service.
The lawmaker opposes the bill because it restricts future flexibility and believes this policy decision should be made during a full budget session rather than now.
The lawmaker opposes the bill because he believes existing reporting provides sufficient transparency and that adding new burdens may discourage people from running for office without addressing a real problem.
Validity of marriages.
The lawmaker believes the bill interferes with the ability of people from other states to contract for marriage in Wyoming and opposes it based on constitutional rights.
