Text: The broad scope of Chapter 89 can only be related to its scope of operation to all units of government. I will not secrete from its text the limited arena which the legislature should have properly and probably constitutionally addressed of design defects and functional obsolescence by criteria changes. Neither of those subjects have anything to do with failure of a repair crew to mark the edge of this narrow and recently resurfaced highway so that the nighttime driver can tell where the edge of the road ends. The broad sweep of this legislation in creation of immunity according to place requires a similarly broad analysis for proper judicial review. Within this perspective, it has to be recognized that a significant number of historically emplaced and existent Wyoming decisions as to driveway, parking and sidewalk liabilities are now reversed by the legislative withdrawal of responsibility for government's negligence.
