THIS WEEK'S POLL

Representatives of Sweetwater, Sublette, and Campbell counties are considering asking the state legislature to allocate more money to subsidize air travel. Local air travel is subsidized by a combination of funds from the federal, state, and local governments. The counties want the state to spend more and relieve the local burden. Airlines say it is not profitable to provide service to the smaller communities without subsidies.  Should local governments pay a share of airline subsidies, or should they only be paid at the state and federal level? Yes, local governments should help pay for subsidies No, only state and federal governments should pay for subsidies A U.S. Senate committee has voted to send weapons and training to rebels fighting against the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Supporters say the United States should be doing more to help overthrow Assad, but opponents say the weapons could wind up in the hands of terrorists or their allies.  Should the United States arm the rebels in Syria? Yes, send weapons to the rebels No, stay out of the Syrian conflict

LAST WEEK'S RESULTS

(WyomingNetwork does NOT represent this as a scientific poll.) Last winter, the Legislature killed a proposal that would have allocated $2.3 million to pay for a police resource officer for every 1000 students in the state. The resource officers would be assigned to the schools. Lawmakers decided they wanted more study before deciding if Wyoming needed to put more police officers in schools, and how to pay for them.   Should Wyoming have one police officer per 1000 students stationed in the state’s schools? Yes, put more cops in the schools 20.0% No, we don’t need more cops in the schools 80.0% There are an estimated 1,200 no longer used and abandoned coal bed methane wells in northeastern Wyoming. The Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission raises about $1 million a year through a combination of bonds and conservation taxes paid by the energy industry. That’s enough to plug about 100 a year. The president of the Petroleum Association of Wyoming says bonding levels are adequate, and there are concerns that increasing taxes on the energy industry could have a chilling effect on development.   Should taxes and bonds be increased on the energy industry to pay for plugging of abandoned wells? Yes, increase the taxes 49.2% No, don’t increase the taxes 50.8%
