Session Update
Natrona County lawmakers were a real mix during this period when it came to funding and policies that would support affordable healthcare access and strengthen public schools. There is a pretty even split between legislators who follow orders or align with the Freedom Caucus and those who think for themselves and vote on a case-by-case basis, with the latter generally voting in favor of policies that benefit healthcare and schools.
Check out our Feb. 10 - 21 statewide report for more information on the bills that advanced.
