Legislative Stabilization Reserve Account

Nice rainy-day fund, Wyoming – but what’s it for?

Gov. Mead says his supplemental budget should be viewed in light of nearly $1B in savings posted in 2014, rather than a $4.4M projected shortfall.

Officials plan to meet Gov. Matt Mead’s call for a budget reduction. But some say that reduction would hit where it hurts: people and resources.
