There’s just one possible hitch: Conservative state lawmakers in Wyoming who balk at government funding for private enterprise.
Enough of them could scuttle a $15 million state enticement for the PRCA to seal the deal.
Wyoming loves rodeo, the official state sport, said state Rep. Rachel Rodriguez-Williams.
She’s chairwoman of the powerful Freedom Caucus, which lists almost a quarter of the Wyoming House as members and has many others in the chamber voting as allies.
In Wyoming, Freedom Caucus lawmakers have also recently supported defunding the Wyoming Business Council, a state agency that facilitates loans for business development.
