Wyoming land policy clash fuels tax fears and court briefings
The federal drive to acquire state lands in Wyoming faces stiff opposition from the current administration and the Wyoming state land department. Officials argue land purchases affect county tax bases since federally owned land is untaxed, while state ownership remains under 40 percent of Wyoming. The piece notes past sales to the federal government, ongoing agency pressure, and a Colorado lawsuit on river water adjudication. It also covers a Wyoming mural unveiling at the University of Wyoming and the start of a statewide high school speech festival on campus with participants from 16 schools. The report highlights Frank Horton’s criticisms, J. B. Griffith’s stance, and Republican and Democratic concerns about future land transactions.
