...tighten election rules, invalidate drivers' licenses issued to undocumented immigrants by other states, prohibit college diversity initiatives, prohibit the state from considering environmental concerns when making investment decisions...

So the first move of the "Freedom" caucus is to restrict and prohibit? Makes the term kind of an oxymoron.

And I love how such a place like Wyoming with so much natural beauty doesn't give a crap about environmental concerns. They'll love it when the prairies are toxic waste dumps.

Let's see if they shut down the wind-farms that provides 25% of the states energy.

Wanna know why Wyoming schools are pretty good, especially considering there is barely a 1/2 million people living in the state? It's because the state heavily tax energy producers (coal, oil, and wind) and all of the money goes to Wyoming's school system. Socialism that works well for the state.
