CHEYENNE – Wyoming lawmakers targeted state agency spending, a property tax refund program and several other areas in their first day of crafting the state’s 2017-18 budget.
The Joint Appropriations Committee voted Tuesday to strip millions of dollars out of the state’s two-year spending plan that will be up for approval during next month’s legislative session.
