#  Fixing The Squatter Problem: Senator Jim Anderson’s Legislative Push - Episode 85

 

In this episode of *Eye on the Issues*, we sit down with Wyoming State Senator Jim Anderson, representing District 28, to discuss critical legislative topics ahead of the upcoming session. Senator Anderson shares insights on his 12 years of service, his motivations for public office, and the challenges facing Wyoming.

We dive into Senator Anderson's proposed legislation to address the growing problem of squatters in Wyoming. Learn how his initiative, inspired by a local constituent's experience, aims to streamline law enforcement's ability to address squatters by redefining them as trespassers under state law. The bill is modeled after Florida's approach, with necessary adjustments for Wyoming's legal framework. Senator Anderson also reflects on broader issues such as inflation, coal mining leases, and the anticipated changes under a new federal administration.

Tune in to hear Senator Anderson's thoughts on Wyoming's unique qualities, its challenges, and the future of legislative efforts in the state.
