The Wyoming left continues to push the narrative that there were "cuts" to the budget in the 2026 Budget Session. Really, there is almost a half a billion dollar increase. Politicians like Chi-Comm Som are using the lie that there were as a campaign issue. Was there money moved around? Yes, but there wasn't a cut.

Interestingly, after getting schooled on this point by Rep Pendergraft, Jake in the Cow Pie continues to insist that there were cuts.

As is always the case, the truth is very different than the story the Redcoats are telling.

Luke Reiner was the WYDOT Director. Now he's running for the Wyoming House in District 8. While at WYDOT, Reiner championed a plan to build EV charging stations every 50 miles of Wyoming's Interstate Highways. He was told no. A fawning puff piece in the Wyoming Tribune Eagle fails to bring up how Reiner spent months trying to convince Wyoming Citizens to go along with the EV push.

Legislators gathered for a town hall April 14 in Sheridan. Most of the evening was a question and answer about what happened during the session. There were, however, two exchanges in which senators were asked why a list of bills did not get heard. The stories shifted the more the evening wore on. First, they ran out of time; then, it was blamed on the Majority Floor Leader and finally, the bills wouldn't pass to begin with.

Senators weren't the only people changing their stories. Gail Symons is attempting to explain away her column that asked Democrats to cross over to the Republican party.
