Gordon Proposes $32 Million For Housing, Nutrition, Mental Health, Family Resources
The largest of Gordon’s new government projects includes $15 million for Wyoming Community Development to address unmet housing needs throughout the state.
Gov. Mark Gordon on Thursday presented his $354 million supplemental budget, stating that Wyoming should invest revenue from recent oil and gas boom so state can support itself during more lean years in the future.
The first round of Wyoming budget cuts have been finalized, totaling more than $250 million, with an additional $80 million in cuts to maintenance of state buildings and those at the University of Wyoming and community colleges.
Gov. Mark Gordon’s efforts to create a true two-year budget for state government should encourage state agencies to plan better for the future, he said Thursday.
