    Jasmine Hall, Wyoming Tribune Eagle Via Wyoming News Exchange|Jan 26, 2023

The change was adopted in an amendment brought forward by Rep. Landon Brown, R-Cheyenne.

Brown told lawmakers on the House floor that while the state was sitting on a strong c...

    Madelyn Beck, WyoFile.com|Jan 26, 2023

Senate Joint Resolution SJ0004 Phasing out new electric vehicle sales by 2035 pushes back against bans on new sales of cars with internal combustion engines in states like California and New York. Although it’s a bit of a tongue-in-cheek statement – and not an actual ban – I am pleased to see that this resolution struc...
