2018 WY Governor's race: on Environment


Bill Dahlin: State can handle mineral/energy use; won't hurt environment

What is my stance on the transfer of public lands ownership, federal to state, except wilderness, monuments, and parks? I really don't think Wyoming, as a state, needs to do this unless the feds threaten our public access. As far as managing the permitting of mineral and energy use, I feel the state could take that part over and manage it without jeopardizing our environment.

Mary Throne: States can regulate environment and energy policies alone

While saying ''I don't like to label myself," Throne said she does consider herself a "Wyoming Democrat." She said that means she supports the 2nd Amendment and is skeptical of the federal government on many issues, including environmental regulation of the energy industry. Throne said she thinks "we know better' than the federal government on energy and environmental regulations.
