CHEYENNE – Governor Mark Gordon highlighted Wyoming’s leadership and innovation in energy, natural resource management, education and economic development, during his State of the State address last Wednesday.
Addressing a joint session of the 68th Wyoming Legislature, the Governor reflected on Wyoming’s low tax burden, its common-sense approach to governing, and the obligation of elected officials to work together to serve the people of the state.
“From generation to generation Wyoming has grown and continues to thrive because of our conservative values and common-sense decision making,” the Governor said. “We have always been able to adapt to breakthroughs, meet challenges, and build a future by assuring our government is accountable, efficient, and responsible.”
While offering congratulatory remarks during an optimistic address to the newly elected Senate and House leadership, 26 first-term legislators, and returning lawmakers, the Governor wished the body “Godspeed” and encouragement: “We have a lot to do, and I have no doubt this is the crew to do it.”
“Our constituents expect an efficient government that gets value for the dollar. One that allows them to keep as much of their hard earned money as reasonably possible,” Governor Gordon said.
“They don’t want cheap, or short-sighted budgets that look good on paper but may hurt them in their daily lives or cause their kids to leave. Wyoming people want sensible government that chooses right over wrong and the right thing over the easy thing,” Governor Gordon added, echoing sentiments he’s heard throughout his tenure at numerous community forums, town halls, and constituent meetings.
