A week after lawmakers abruptly revived a bill that threatens Jackson Hole’s affordable housing program, Teton County commissioners decided Monday to look into hiring help to navigate the Wyoming Legislature’s winter session in Cheyenne.
“With every field we engage in, we have staff support with expertise in that field,” Commissioner Luther Propst said. “We depend on them. I would like to have somebody who helps us engage effectively with the Legislature. Somebody who just helps us so when we go to Cheyenne, we know the score, we have direction, we have background and insight.”
