Legislature wraps up session

As the Wyoming legislative session comes to a close, lawmakers say it was a bipartisan session that accomplished a lot of work. 

Senator John Hastert of Green River was impressed by how quickly they took care of a number of issues.

“We had a lot of hot topics out there, we had budget, wolves, redistricting, just to name but a few.  And I really expected this session to go longer.”

Hastert says he is especially pleased that lawmakers approved legislation to improve workplace safety.  Other legislators noted they made improvements to education and were able to prevent large cuts to the State Department of Health.
