2018 WY Governor's race: on Budget & Economy

Bill Dahlin: Economy needs diversification and promotion

I truly believe Wyoming needs to focus on diversification of our economy. A "one for all, and all for one" direction, with less regulations.

Industrial Hemp, it's not marijuana. It is legal. It has many uses. It will create good paying jobs, millions in revenues.
We need to look at USDA meat processing within the state.
We need to be more aggressive on promoting our state for new business.
We need to promote and protect our energy and mineral sectors at all times.

Mary Throne: Budget will maximize revenues and cut unnecessary costs

Moving to the topic of economics, Throne said the state needs to be realistic about the future of coal, oil and natural gas. "I support all 3," she said. "But our economic dependence on them has hurt us. What I'd do on the budget side is start with the really basic question of what do we want to do." Throne said the state should maximize the income of the investment funds, see if the state is spending money it shouldn't be and then talk about if there is a need to change the tax structure.
