CHEYENNE, WY – Today, Americans for Prosperity-Wyoming (AFP-WY) criticized Governor Mark Gordon for his veto of H.B. 178, a crucial bill that would prevent the government from collecting dues from public sector employees for union dues and other private interests.

AFP-WY State Director Tyler Lindholm gave the following statement:

“Gov. Gordon’s veto sends a resounding message that some taxpayer dollars are fine to use for subsidizing private interests, if they’re interests like teacher unions that he’s in favor of.

“It’s unfortunate that taxpayers will continue to have to subsidize these public sector unions for the time being. Wyoming taxpayers can rest assured that AFP-WY will be back hard at work to right this wrong in next year’s legislative session.”
