Legislature committee assignments made

The 65th Legislature for the State of Wyoming will convene next month and our legislators for Hot Springs County, Wyatt Agar and John Winter, have received their committee assignments for the 2019-2020 session.

Agar is now our Senior Legislator and he has been assigned to the Appropriations Committee, a good spot for him since that is the committee making financial decisions, including the fate of the Wyoming Pioneer Home.

Winter is our Junior Legislator and he has been assigned to a number of committees for his first year. Those committees include Agriculture, State and Public Lands and Water Resource, Travel, Recreation, Wildlife and Cultural Resources.

The legislature will convene at noon on Jan. 8 with the Governor’s State of the State address scheduled for the following day, Jan. 9 at 10 a.m.
