Our lifestyle, our wildlife, our land and our water remain critical to our definition of Wyoming and to our economic future.

Money should not, and must not, change our commitment to solving problems and building this state.

The safest course for public officials is simply to throw all of the money in a sack.

Our citizens and those who have gone before us charted the broad outlines of where we need to go, and they would envy our opportunity to translate those dreams into action. And I believe they will judge us very harshly should we fail to act.
