The bill, sponsored by the Joint Judiciary Committee, passed the Wyoming House but then died i...

by Wyoming Liberty Group Staff Wyoming campaign finance law, or "campaign finance reform" if you prefer, is pointless and counterproductive. It has served as nothing more than a bundle of platitudes and a dirty political tool for more than a century, since the Republican Party unreasonably accused Democrat John Kendrick of violating the state's ori...
