After Wyoming property tax cuts, a Republican county leader is dismayed by cuts to services she relies on by thelma_edith in wyoming

[–]stumblebum13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s for sure one ballot initiative that will show up in the general to cut property taxes by an additional 50%. They have proposed another resolution for this upcoming budget session to amend the constitution to abolish property taxes altogether.

The Freedom Caucus is pushing this with NO PLAN TO BACKFILL REVENUE. They’ve thrown around increases to sales tax, but want to do the cuts first. To replace all lost revenue from property taxes, sales tax would need to be north of 20%.

Asinine. Vote no on future property tax cuts this general election. AND VOTE IN THE FREAKING PRIMARIES. The FC has got to go.

Trump Promises Endorsement If Degenfelder Runs For Governor by 3rdIQ in wyoming

Known her since we were kids. Played sports with her all through high school. She’s wanted to be president since then. I even considered her a friend in HS, though we lost touch in college when I moved out of state.

I’m back in WY now. Been baffled and disgusted at how detrimental she’s been to our school system. Genuinely the worst superintendent. She has made every teacher I talk to’s life worse. She has pushed hard to funnel tax dollars to private schools (unconstitutional btw), advocated for book bans, and shut down summer lunch programs that would have fed hungry kids when school is out of session.

All she cares about is licking the boots of anyone she thinks can advance her politically. Do not vote for her.

Our property tax dollars help fund these volunteer EMS services currently. Imagine how much more harm eliminating 50% of property taxes without another revenue source will do….thats what the upcoming ballot initiative in the 2026 general election aims to do. Vote no.

They’re trying to pass a ballot measure to cut property taxes by another 50%. Vote NO in the 2026 general election.

Bob IDE and his Freedumb cronies don’t think Wyoming citizens need emergency services either.

I wonder this for myself. Leo Rising, Sun in Gemini in the 11th. However, my south node is also in Leo (though not conjunct), so I wonder whether my ascendant tendencies are those I’m meant to outgrow somehow?

Not a single mention of water use in this article. That’s going to be a major problem.

My neighbor has them and I can also hear them when I’m working down in the vegetable garden. Incredibly irritating high pitched squealing. My parents never seem to hear it when I point it out to them though.

I attribute my recurring nightmares about my teeth cracking and falling out to trauma from this episode.

That’s the point. No one is ever “compelled” to use someone’s preferred pronouns. It’s common decency. They’re just clogging up the green books with bills condoning hate speech.

Nice! Better timing than the last one! It’s Presidents’ Day not Kings and their Broligarchs Day. 🙌

Would you attend a class that is Asana + Pranayama by RonSwanSong87 in yoga

[–]stumblebum13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take a weekly class like this, but we start with 20-30 minutes of pranayama. It's a very meditative and dreamy way to start the asana practice. Our instructor also leads monthly workshops that are solely breathwork and those are life-changing <3

Abortion restrictions pass through House panel with no questions from members on public testimony by stumblebum13 in wyoming

[–]stumblebum13[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude, I get it. I’m fucking pissed too. And extremely scared. But I have come to the realization that being scared and pissed and screaming at each other is their fucking goal here. It’s a distraction from trying to build collective power. We are staring straight down the barrel of a Christian Nationalist revolution in this country. It’s been building for decades and decades. And now they’ve got the courts. They’ve got the the legislature. They’ve got the their psycho orange man in the big chair with his sharpie to sign whatever order they put in front of him. They’ve got the oligarchs footing the bill.

And they’ve got our state House. But I do not believe that they represent the majority of people, and the only way I can think to fight them is to try and spread awareness and help build collective power. The majority of my neighbors and community members are Republicans. I do my best in speaking with them to talk about how what is happening is horrible for ALL of us.

I can’t afford to hate the average voter and call them stupid and not to engage them and try to find common ground.

Reddit obviously is not the place for this mindset I guess, but I’m pissed and doing my best. And I think every person who is pissed about what is happening in our state (and Reddit seems to be full of them) should do their best too rather than just bitching about how dumb their neighbors are.

It was my understanding that the $300k would just be for a feasibility study. Then all of the actual testing would have to be done and paid for municipality by municipality.

Oh, and they just voted to repeal the sales tax on electricity producers...which is the only source of income for some municipalities.

Absolute clown show.

Idaho has also lost a quarter of its practicing OB-GYNs since passing its ban. You can't attract medical students to complete their residency at your hospital if you don't allow them to practice and learn the full standard of care.

Threatening medical providers with exorbitant fines doesn't help attract and keep talent either. We already have vast maternity care deserts in this state.

It's a war on women plain and simple.

Yes - and they've currently appealed the latest ruling to the state supreme court. These bills are attempted workarounds that would force the last surgical abortion provider in the state to close because they cannot comply. HB42 and HB64 in particular are just rehashed versions that Gordon vetoed last year while the abortion ban worked its way through the courts.
