Prior to Governor Geringer, the line-item veto was used only on Appropriations or Budget bills. Governor Geringer used this veto in the 1997 Education Reform Law, which was not a Budget or Appropriations Bill. We do not support this use of his veto power. We call for limitation of the Governor s line-item veto power. The Wyoming Democratic Party recognizes the invaluable contributions of organized labor to our economy.
Organized labor makes a positive contribution to economic development.
Repressive laws and attitudes that inhibit collective bargaining and the right of workers to fully participate in the economic structure of the state contributes to Wyoming s poor economy.
