Cheyenne Roundup

We are officially halfway through the 67th Wyoming Legislature's General Session. We recap last week's budget discussion, and energy and abortion-related bills that are moving through the session. Plus, how the power went out at the Capital Friday afternoon. And we look ahead to the second half of a pretty busy session.
