Cheyenne, WY – Some legislators say state agencies have enough money that they should have no trouble continuing to provide essential services in the face of pending 10 percent funding cuts.

Gov. Dave Freudenthal has ordered all state agencies to submit plans for the funding cuts for the fiscal year that starts in July. He says low gas prices are likely to force cuts of as much as $325 million in fiscal year 2010.

Laramie, WY – Conservation groups say that the removal of wolves from the endangered species list in Idaho and Montana, but not in Wyoming, could result in a change in policy for Wyoming wolves. Because wolves were reintroduced in Wyoming, they've had a designation that gives officials and landowners more leeway to kill them, if they attack livestock.
