OPENING ADDRESS BY SECRETARY OF STATE EDWARD F. MURRAY, III

Esteemed Members of the House of Representatives of the 63rd Legislature; Spouses; family and friends of said representatives; Justice Golden; Distinguished Guests and citizens of Wyoming present in these Chambers and watching or listening all across the State of Wyoming.

Today is a great day in the history of Wyoming. January 13, 2015 marks the beginning of this, the 63rd Legislative session.

You, the members of the House of Representatives, are about to be sworn in, and become a part of a great continuity – hand to hand - generation to generation dating back 125 years; and you hold in your palms a magnificent legacy and the responsibility of the highest order – representing the people of Wyoming.

I am honored to succeed Secretary Maxfield as the Secretary of State and humbled to deliver the opening address. As inspiration for my thoughts for you today, I’ve turned to the three people that have had the most profound impact on my life, and are indeed why I stand here today.

The first is my late father, Ned Murray, who, when I was a boy, encouraged me to go "Into the Arena". This was not the arena outside by the barn; it was "The Arena" in the context of the famous speech "Citizenship In A Republic" delivered By President Theodore Roosevelt 1910. The excerpt from that speech given to me by my father reads as follows:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows

Page 2: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

You my friends are "In the Arena", and I congratulate you for your courage and sacrifice. Do, spend yourselves completely in this worthy cause representing valiantly the people of Wyoming.

As a side note:

When I told Deputy Pat Arp I was going to recite this excerpt, in her wisdom she suggested that I memorialized it for each of you to take with you along the way. And so we have 60 of these (personalized copies of the quote) prepared for you – and when you have a moment, please come by my office, get your copy of this, say hello and meet our friendly staff.

The second piece of advice that has profoundly shaped me and guided me has come from my dear mother, Barbara, affectionately known as "Baba". Beginning when I was a boy and continuing throughout my life; really as recently as last week before my inauguration, my mother has looked me in the eye and said, "BE YOU - it is what you are called to do." So today I would offer that each of you - Be You.

Being you is also what each of you is called to do. Together you are a body, but, just like the physical body, there are different parts. You may be the eye, you may be the hands, the ear, in Mr. Speaker Brown’s case the mouth. BE WHO YOU ARE. You encompass all walks of life: some in Ag, in Business, Education or Law. Dig deep, be introspective, what are the talents and gifts with which you have been blessed. Knowledge, wisdom, understanding, humor, kindness, compassion, civility intellect --- each of you bring your own God given talents and gifts to this body. Use them, and this body will function, with God’s grace.

Finally, the third; and in my case perhaps the most important piece of advice in my formation, comes from my wife of 28 years, Caren Murray. Caren is with us today in the gallery and I’d like to welcome her at this time.

Caren and I are the parents of 4 wonderful daughters who are watching elsewhere through the marvels of modern technology. I’ve saved these three words of advice from my wife to conclude this address, because, in my mind they are the most fitting way for me to end and you to begin your work. The three words I’m speaking of have been lovingly whispered in my ear to wake me up nearly every morning for the past 28 years by the woman I love and who loves me. And these three words are:

GET TO WORK. So let it be with us

May God Bless this 63rd House of Representatives and May God Bless this Great State of Wyoming.

ADDRESS BY SPEAKER OF THE HOUSEKERMIT BROWN

Madame Majority Floor Leader, Mr. Speaker Pro Tem, Mr. Majority Floor Leader, Mr. Minority Whip, fellow legislators of the 63rd Wyoming Legislature, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.

It is with humility and pride that I stand before you as your Speaker. I could never have done this without your support and your encouragement and I thank you one and all for everything you have done for me. Many who have helped me through the years are no longer here yet they are not forgotten. Representative Kurt Bucholz used to sit right over there where Representative Hung is sitting. Representative Bucholz was a dear friend and a very gifted legislator. More than once I imagined that someday he might be our Governor and I might be his Attorney General. Unfortunately, he was prematurely taken form us by cancer. I wanted to mention him specially, because I miss him and because we – all of us, should never forget that our time here is precious and fragile.

I have a few more people I wish to specially mention.

Reverend Harshberger, thank you for being here today and delivering the invocation.

Page 5: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

Justice Golden, thank you for being here today. Justice Golden is a boyhood friend and former law partner. He actually made the motion to have me admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court. Many of you think the phrase "Be like Mike" came from Michael Jordan but such is not the case. When we were kids, it was my mother saying "Why can't you be like Mike?"

With all the slippery slopes around here, I brought my ski instructor, he has some other talents as well. Please help me welcome the newly-elected mayor of the City of Laramie, Mr. David Paulekis.

My law partner, Bill Heiser and his wife Tracy, are also present. Bill and I have practiced law together since 1988 and I can honestly say, we have never had a cross word. Bill, your patience and indulgence in my political escapades is unequaled, and for that I thank your profusely. I know that our law practice is in the best hands during my absence.

Thank you to all our friend and family here today: Margaret's sisters Joan, Judy and Susan, my brother Doug, my other law partner Kelly Hick and the rest of our law office Alan, Kristi and Julie. A couple of my cowboying friends came in from the Red Dessert – Don and Colleen Stratton and Niels and Barbara Hansen.

One time the Stock Growers newsletter had an article about the 100,000 mile club in Nevada – made up of people who document they had ridden 100,000 miles horseback in their life. There were, as I recall 37 of them. Twelve were in the picture and 3 of them were women. I think all four of Don, Colleen, Niels and Barb would qualify for membership in that club. I remember one incredibly cold December day trailing cattle from Twin Groves to Saratoga with Don when it felt like we rode a 1000 miles in one day. My friend and business partner Gary Crum is here – along with another partner, we created the Wyoming State Bank out of pure thin air and today employ about 40 people. Thank you all.

Lastly, my wife Margaret. She is my life partner and means more to me than anyone or anything else in this world. We have led an adventuresome life together and she has always supported me. She has saved me from inadvertently annihilating myself on several occasions, she has been the rock of my life and she made this journey to the office of Speaker possible. When I finish this term, she and I between us will have served 16 years in this chamber. Thank you Margaret, for our life together.

We have been a state for only 125 years. We open this legislative session as only the 63rd legislature to sit in this state. We join a select group of something in the order of 1500 people who have held our positions. In these very chambers have labored many of the giants in Wyoming history – Warren, Carey, Kendrick, Simpson, Hickey and Hansen just to name a few. Our predecessors had no easier time of it that we will. They got mad and most got over it, they got frustrated and found a way through, they spent sleepless nights when there was no money and collectively, they left us the state we have today. Now we pick up the baton to continue their work for a brief period of service, mindful that we are not perfect and mindful that no one of us is as wise as all of us. The work product that we produce in this session will belong to none of us. It will belong to all of us. Our differences are what tend to be emphasized, but in fact, it is the understandings we have in common that move our state forward. We would do well to reflect on the common vision that gave us the state we inherit today, and hope that we can constructively contribute to the state we will leave to the next generation of legislators. This is the people's house and our collective wisdom is the heart and soul of Wyoming. It is incumbent on us to act in a way that makes the people of the State of Wyoming proud. We do so by observing the decorum, protocol and process produced by 125 years of experience. Robust debate is allowed here. We find ways to disagree without being disagreeable. We do not call each other names and we accord every member an equal opportunity to be

heard. The good ideas bubble to the top and the rest are respectfully discarded – oddly enough, sometimes to surface and prevail another day.

Once more last week, we see in the press that our state has one of the most unpredictable sources of revenue in the nation – perhaps exceeded only by the state of Alaska. The Senate President and I, along with others, will sponsor a bill creating the Vision 2020 comprehensive expenditure and revenue review. The purpose of this bill will be to assess, through committees and task forces, all of our sources of revenue and expenditures and to assess the risk and volatility associated with each. We will look at all sources of revenue, tax exemptions and expenditures. We will engage economists and statisticians with the hope of constructing an econometric model incorporating sophisticated statistical tools like multi-variant regression, to quantify the overall levels of risk we potentially face, identify recommended levels of permanent and non-permanent savings, funding sources for those savings and policy criteria to guide the withdrawal of non-permanent funds. Too much of the discussion in this area is the product of anecdotes and opinions and too little is the product of hard data that can be enhanced with economic and statistical methods of evaluation available at our own university. Our hope will be that Vision 2020 will give us all some comfort that the saving and spending decisions we make are well grounded in fact and logic.

In the last session of the legislature, Next Generation Science Standards were taken off the table – to the extent according to some, that it is forbidden to even discuss any aspect of the standards during a state-funded meeting. This is fundamentally wrong. Politicians do not tell academics and educators what they can think about. We have not burned books in this county for a long time – and for good reason. Education trumps ignorance. We do not need to prohibit the discussion and consideration of something for fear that our ignorance will deceive us. Our students are perfectly capable of seeing ideas for what they are worth and accepting or rejecting them in a fully informed manner. Our students need to know and understand concepts that are basically disagreeable to us. They need to know and understand both sides of the arguments – indeed, to be proficient in their field, they should be able to make the argument on either side of any given issue. We do not protect them by giving them the education and ability to evaluate them and adopt or reject them as the case may be. I will be supportive of an effort to repeal the budget footnote pertaining to Next Generation Science Standards adopted last year, freeing up our State Board of Education to give them whatever consideration they deserve.

Finally, I would like to say a few things about this beautiful room that we occupy. Consider this building and this room. They were built and left to us by our predecessors – but without the mineral revenues and taxation that we enjoy today. Building this building and leaving it to us probably represents a greater sacrifice on their part than any we will make. This magnificent building and this setting impresses upon us the enormity and the gravity of the work we undertake and encourages us to proceed with grace and dignity. After this session, we are going to vacate this building and the House will not meet here again probably until the general session in the year 2019. Many of us will not be here by then a d so this is our last chance to experience what this building offers. When we move to our temporary spaces where we will conduct our business for the next three sessions, we need to take with us the memory of this place and the effect it has on us. We need to continue to observe the decorum and the dignity that this place imposes on us. Great challenge lies ahead for us. Leadership and staff are already engaged. We must physically move out of this building, occupy temporary space and in that temporary space, which will be spread out all over town, establish the communications and processes that come so naturally here. It will be a trying time for us all. Again we would do well to remember those who went before us and appreciate the state, the circumstances and the building that they left to us. We will suffer no more sacrifice than those who put it together in the first place and we will be doing what our predecessors did – leaving a legacy

in the form of a remodeled capitol, Herschler Office Building and an additional state office building that will serve the people of the state of Wyoming well beyond the lifetime of anyone of us. God bless those in uniform who stand in harm's way so that we can safely engage in this democratic process. God bless you all, God bless the state of Wyoming and God bless the United States of America.

ELECTION OF MAJORITY FLOOR LEADERRepresentative Madden nominated Rosie Berger as Majority Floor Leader of the House of Representatives for the 63rd Wyoming Legislature. Representative Dan Zwonitzer seconded the nomination and moved that her election be made unanimous dispensing with the roll call.

The motion carried. Mr. Speaker appointed Representatives Wilson and Halverson to escort Representative Berger to receive the oath of office. Justice Golden administered the oath.

REMARKS BY MAJORITY FLOOR LEADERROSIE BERGER

Mr. Speaker, members of the 63rd Wyoming State Legislature, and guests, I am honored to stand before you as your Majority Floor Leader.

I thank everyone here today including my fellow legislators in the House and Senate, the LSO and State Capitol staff who serve us all so well, the media who keep our constituents informed, and the families and friends back home who support us and make our work here in Cheyenne possible.

I would like to recognize Wyoming's statewide elected officials – Governor Matt Mead, Secretary of State Ed Murray, Treasurer Mark Gordon, Superintendent Jillian Balow and Auditor Cynthia Cloud. As we embark on a new legislative session, I look forward to working with all of Wyoming's elected officials to achieve our shared goals for our state:

A healthy and growing economy; An education system that prepares the next generation of

Wyoming citizens to compete globally; An energy sector poised to continue powering the nation; A smart, conservative budget that hopes for the best, but

plans for the worst; And a legislative blueprint that enables a better, brighter

future for our state.

There is much to be done and it will take a collaborative effort of elected officials to deliver real results for the people of Wyoming.

I also thank my husband of 32 years, Bob Berger, for your endless encouragement, support and willingness to hold down the fort back home for weeks at a time, while I engage in the people's business.

To my fellow House members, I thank you most of all.

I thank you for having the courage to put your name on ballot – for putting yourself, your ideas, your values and your families out there to be judged and debated for the greater food of public service. We have all gone through a great deal to stand here today, but the real work is just beginning.

As we start this legislative session, let us not lose focus on our primary duty – to serve the people of Wyoming and represent the best interests and values of our constituents. While we have our differences – in terms of politics, geography, ideology, and more – we all stand here today as elected officials in the greatest representative democracy this world has ever known. We also all share a deep love and devotion to our great state and its people. They deserve nothing less than our best efforts.

Page 8: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

That's not to say we will not challenge and debate each other. Debate, both within and between our parties, is important and healthy. Debate is what moves us forward. It ensures that we end up with the very best ideas for our state. We have the opportunity to learn something from our colleagues even if we disagree.

The substance of what we say, what we do and what we decide this session is of utmost importance. To reach our best results, I believe that it is imperative for all of us to show the highest respect for the institution, and for each other. We work most effectively if we work in mutual respect and strictly adhere to the formal process that allows us to serve the people well.

We have seen what happens in other places where the process breaks down, and useful work comes to a stop. Not here. The Wyoming House and Senate have a long history of serving with respect and honor, with great results in the end. Let us not change that proud history.

As Majority Floor Leader, I intend to be strict about decorum, respect, integrity and order in our House – a commitment shared by the entire leadership team. We owe it to the people of Wyoming to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of them – and consistent with the code of ethics this body adopted five years ago. Live each day with courage. When you make a promise, keep it. Be tough but fair.

Senator Al Simpson often said "If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters".

The very best of us will be tested throughout the session. However, we cannot forget that the people of Wyoming demand and deserve to hold us to the highest standard in how we represent them in this body.

This past fall I had the privilege of traveling across Wyoming – covering over 4,500 miles and visiting nearly every county in the state. It served as a powerful reminder of the richness and diversity of Wyoming's various regions. Spread over 97,000 square miles, Wyoming encompasses diverse people, places, industries, resources and scenery. However, this body is tasked with the serious challenge of coming together to represent them all.

Lucky for us, our predecessors have a long history of doing just that. Since first organizing as a territory in 1869, Wyoming's leaders have adhered to what they believe best for Wyoming citizens – often despite the federal government, as is the case with Wyoming's path to statehood.

This legislative session will be the last in this historic building as it stands now. The Ninth Territorial Legislative Assembly authorized the construction of this building in 1886, and a year later the first cornerstone was laid. Flagstone for the building's foundation was quarried nearby and sandstone from Rawlins was used in the construction of the upper floors. The wings on each side of the original structure were completed in 1890.

The State Capitol belongs to the people of Wyoming, and they deserve chambers conducive to public access and engagement. Thus, shortly after the turn of the century, the legislature authorized the expansion of the Capitol. In 1917, the Wyoming State Legislature held its first session in the chambers where we stand today.

Nearly a hundred years later, we face the same challenges as we move through another long overdue renovation to modernize our legislative process in the 21st century. With our planned renovation, we will be able to provide public access to the legislative process while improving communications and transparency.

Page 9: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

For the past twelve years, I have been proud to work with members of this body to strengthen our economy, improve our infrastructure, carefully develop our natural resources, keep state decisions in state hands, maintain a controlled budget and invest our human and financial resources wisely.

As a result, we have more than $2 billion in the Legislative Stabilization Reserve Account – giving us immediate capital to continue providing for Wyoming citizens in challenging fiscal times. As we adjust to a decrease in revenue based on current energy prices, we must be vigilant in making policy decisions and determining our priorities. We will need to do more with less while making focused investments in Wyoming's infrastructure that create jobs and maintain a high quality of life throughout our communities.

Of course Wyoming's best resource has always been its people. The greatest thing we can do to protect and grow that resource is to invest in the education and infrastructure necessary to foster jobs and careers worthy of their talents. Education and economic development go hand in hand and Wyoming is poised to advance both of these during this legislative session.

The University of Wyoming and community colleges across the state play a critical role in providing the advanced knowledge and technical training Wyoming citizens need to compete for high-wage jobs. Our technical and career training programs are second to none in fields including nursing, dental hygiene, engineering, welding, machining, plumbing, transportation, law enforcement, culinary arts, mechanics, wind, oil, gas, coal and much, much more. We're training Wyoming students and citizens for good jobs available right now – adapting – and customizing our training programs to meet industry demands. It is making a difference in our economy.

In my hometown of Sheridan we've seen a variety of businesses relocate to Wyoming to take advantage of our business-friendly environment and educated workforce.

One company with worldwide sales relocated to Sheridan based in part on the ability of Sheridan College to provide reliable, well-trained workers. They started with 40 employees, now employ 80 and are planning an expansion to more than 120 people.

Another successful manufacturer now in Sheridan tells us that they still cannot get enough graduates from Sheridan College's machining program to work on their projects for the global company.

Jobs like these keep Wyoming's young people in Wyoming. Our state's greatest export should never be its young minds. By expanding educational and career opportunities for our young people, we can help ensure that our best and brightest have the job opportunities they deserve right here at home. This is not merely a generalized goal – we know the practical steps we can take to make it happen.

The legislature recognizes, as it has for years, the importance of having a world-class education system and has literally put their money where their mouth is, making significant investments in our education system at all levels. This session will be no different.

As your Majority Floor Leader, I consider it an honor and a privilege to be tasked with managing the day-to-day activities on the floor. As a body, we will consider bills as diverse as our membership. I will do my best to ensure we work efficiently and effectively while giving worthy consideration to the priorities of our members and the constituents they represent.

One of the perennial dilemmas we face is the delicate balance between thorough bill analysis with full debate, and the efficiency needed to move through 300 to 600 bills during each legislative session. This is a challenge that falls

largely in my court as Majority Floor Leader, and I will need help from all of you.

The laws we pass affect every citizen in Wyoming – sometimes in life-altering ways. The policy decisions can be tough, and the precise wording details are critical. Yet every minute we spend on one bill limits our ability to carefully consider others. I pledge my efforts to manage the process as best I can.

Please continue to provide to me with your honest input and allow for the likelihood that individual priorities will not always be aligned with those of the body as a whole. We will do all that we can do in this session, as we work to focus on so many issues of great importance to our constituents

If I leave you with nothing else today, I encourage you to use the next two months to grow as individuals, as legislators and as leaders;

To listen; To learn' To be humble; To be courageous; To learn compromise without compromising your principles; To reject partisanship; To avoid divisiveness; And to remember when we debate, we are debating an issue, not a

person.

Again, thank you for the opportunity to serve as your Majority Floor Leader. It will be my highest priority to work closely with leadership and with each of you to make sure our House operates efficiently and effectively. We are here to do the people's business. Let's honor the institution and get to work.

God bless each of you and the great state of Wyoming.

ELECTION OF SPEAKER PRO TEMRepresentative Kroeker nominated Representative Tim Stubson as Speaker Pro Tem of the House of Representatives for the 63rd Legislature. Representative Barlow seconded the motion and moved that his election by made unanimous, dispensing with the roll call.

The motion carried. Mr. Speaker appointed Representatives Dave Zwonitzer and John Eklund to escort Representative Stubson to receive the oath of office.

REMARKS BY SPEAKER PRO TEMTIM STUBSON

Mr. Speaker, Madam Majority Floor Leader, Madam Minority Floor Leader, Distinguished guests and Ladies and Gentleman of the 63rd. I have always considered it to be one of the great honors of my life to serve in this institution and I am certainly doubly honored this session to serve as your Speaker Pro Tem. Even though we don't all agree and we will have spirited debate and disagreement; It gives me tremendous satisfaction to know that I am serving in a body with 59 others who are dedicated to the common proposition of a stronger, more prosperous Wyoming.

I want to take a quick moment to recognize my wife Susan and my sons Finnegan and Meade. On behalf of everyone on this floor, I want to thank those who stayed at home and enabled us to come down and serve the citizens of this state. We get the opportunity to come and do the work that we love and fight for the issues we believe in. Our family, friends and co-workers are left at home to do all the unfinished chores, all the day to day work that remains undone because of this calling that we share. To those folks at home I just

want to let you know that we recognize that you pay a cost for our service and we thank you for it.

I also want to thank Justice Golden for being with us today. Justice Golden is my neighbor and my constituent. Eighteen years ago when I took a very similar oath to the one we took today and became a member of the Wyoming Bar, Justice Golden presided over that ceremony. Even prior to that, prior to his elevation to the bench, Justice Golden was the law partner of a simple country lawyer named Kermit Brown. While those connections noteworthy, they are certainly not unique. Instead, those sorts of connections permeate this body and they permeate this state. The close connection that we share, that sense of community and the fact that you can't get away with anything is something that epitomizes Wyoming and what is special about Wyoming.

Those close connections are particularly relevant to this House, and they are important to the unique role that we play in the governing process. We alone among state elected officials stand for election every two years. Because of that, we are accountable and responsible to our constituents in a way no other state elected official is. Also important is the fact that as citizen legislators, when we are done with our work we go back to our homes, to our jobs, our families and the neighbors that we serve. We get to hear immediately, repeatedly and directly what the voters think of our work. All those factors coalesce to ensure that we are and we remain the arm of state government closest to the people. We are known as the people's house for a reason and we are uniquely situated to serve as the voice of the people.

Over the next 40 days we have the opportunity to do just that and advocate for those who sent us here.

In the face of uncertain revenues, we will be called upon to thoughtfully balance savings and investments in a way that insures stability and economic vitality for the years to come.

We have the opportunity to invest in our local communities wisely. To continue to push for schools that we can be proud of, health care efficient and effective and transportation and communications infrastructure that allow us to connect to one another.

We have the opportunity to continue to push for a state where laws are limited and where our citizens continue to have the freedom to innovate, to create and to prosper.

As we do that work we must remember that we are part of a remarkable nation, a nation that stands as a great example of strength and of freedom. Yet much of the strength of our country is owed to the genius of the states and the ability to solve problems in a way that uniquely meets our local needs. Too often we have a federal government that forgets the importance of that system and seeks to impose solutions that make sense from afar but are simply unworkable when put into practice. This session we will have the opportunity and the obligation to fight for the right to solve Wyoming problems with Wyoming solutions.

As I walk these halls and see all those bearded and mustached men staring from the walls upstairs, I'm reminded of two things. First we are temporary trustees of these positions. Secondly, we are the beneficiaries of a rich history and a legacy left by those who have come before us. It is a heritage underscored by independence and an unwavering focus the future. It is a history of growth and progress. We owe an obligation to build a foundation for those who follow that is even stronger than the one we found when we arrived. I look forward to working with you all as we add our page in that book and pledge my best efforts to create a legacy that we can all be proud of.

Mr. Speaker thanked Mr. Speaker Pro Tem for his remarks and asked that Representatives Esquibel and Loucks escort the Speaker Pro Tem to his chair.

Mr. Speaker then recognized Minority Floor Leader, Representative Throne and asked her to address the body. Representatives Byrd and Connolly escorted her to the podium.

REMARKS BY MINORITY FLOOR LEADERMARY THRONE

Mr. Speaker, fellow leaders, friends, family, guests and members of the 63rd, it is an honor to be here today and to serve as your Minority Floor Leader. I want to make special mention of my dear friend Rosie Berger, the first woman to serve as majority leader in over 40 years. The 63rd may also be the first time women have served together as House Floor Leaders in the Equality State.

In Wyoming our history has been, unfortunately, driven by boom and bust. Before the session began, a reporter asked me if we are now in a boom or bust – my response was neither – and I made this statement after the drop in oil prices. For the 63rd, I would like to propose that we banish the boom and bust vocabulary and continue to lay the groundwork for a new chapter of Wyoming history. That is all well and good you may be thinking, Madame Minority Leader, but how? While there are no magic bullets, it will not surprise you that on behalf of the minority, I do have a few thoughts I would like to share with you.

For a brighter Wyoming future, we must take advantage of our enormous wealth both in natural resources and in our people. I am not one who believes we can or should turn our back on the mineral resources that have sustained the Wyoming economy for years. Instead we should build on our strengths and become zealous advocates for our resources. More than any other state in the country, we have learned how to develop our resources, while maintaining our quality of life.

We need to make investments in our state that will enhance our communities and our unique Wyoming way of life for years to come. Putting off necessary expenses only increases costs and puts us at an economic disadvantage. If there does come a time when Wyoming is truly broke, the investments we make today in our own state – not the stock market – will reap dividends.

But it is not just investing in the basics that will keep our state strong; it is protecting what makes Wyoming special. As much as we know that value of oil rigs on the horizon, they are not why we enjoy living here. We live here, despite the wind and cold to enjoy our wide open spaces and the world class wildlife that inhabit them. Both are worthy of protection for those wo will call Wyoming home when we are gone.

Finally - and most importantly – we have to take care of our only infinite resources – our people. Our investments in education are finally being noticed with Wyoming recently breaking into the top ten in one national K-12 ranking. We know there is more to do to guarantee that every Wyoming child reaches his or her full potential and can prosper here, as adults. Men and women should have an equal opportunity for economic success in this state. Our workers need to be safe on the job and free from discrimination. They need access to healthcare and we should not allow our well-founded skepticism of the federal government to prevent us from making good decisions – like Medicaid expansion for Wyoming. Our relationship with the feds reminds me of an old adage: "The Feds, we can't live with 'em and we can't live without 'em".

I have tried to outline just a few themes that may arise during this session. As we begin to bond as a legislative family, I want to close by thanking my family – my husband of twenty years, Kevin and sons, Michael, Tarver and Patrick. Over the years I have served, they have thrived and I have become

the shortest member of the family. They are my constant reminder, that as members of the 63rd, we are charged with making decisions that will be in the best long-term interest of Wyoming, regardless of our differences, the issues we face or the path that brought us here. God bless the 63rd, God bless Wyoming and God bless our great nation.

HOUSE EMPLOYEESRepresentative Berger moved that the persons whose names appear on the list of proposed employees, which has been previously distributed to the membership, be House employees for this session in the positions so indicated on said list. The motion carried by voice vote.

STATE OF THE STATEMATTHEW H. MEAD

Good morning. Good to see you. Thank you. Good morning. Thank you very much. Please have a seat.

Good morning, thank you for the warm welcome. I don't know that it can get any better than that. Thank you very much. It's very kind.

Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, members of the 63rd Wyoming Legislature, Secretary Murray, Auditor Cloud, Treasurer Gordon, Superintendent Balow, Federal Circuit Judge Phillips, Chief Justice Burke, all members of the judiciary, all military and veteran's, fellow citizens, good morning Thank you all for being here.

And thank you for those who are participating via the Internet or other media. We welcome all of you. And, we're pleased that technology has many benefits including the freedom to be wherever you want to be in Wyoming or anywhere else to take part in these proceedings.

I want to say good morning to my family. For those of you who have been here for four years, you've seen some growth in the kids. I mentioned at the inauguration that one place on the governor's resident wall – which we'll make sure we get painted before we leave, we have marked the height of our children over the years, and it's remarkable. We think they have grown not only in height, but in other ways they've grown up with this body. You all have seen them grow up. But it causes us all to reflect upon one of the main reasons we're here, for our kids and grandkids.

And I can't imagine being here without the love and the support of Carol and Mary and Pete. I thank all of you for helping me get here and helping me do this job.

I think it was my first state of the state, before I gave it, Pete wrote me a note. And his handwriting, you have to decipher a little bit back then, but he said, "Good luck, Dad. You'll do great." He signed it not Pete, but "best son ever." I'm lucky to have the confidence of my family and a confident family.

These are exciting times. It's a new year, a new legislature. We have some new faces in the legislature, in leadership and in our statewide offices. And I look forward to working with all of you. As I have told this body in the past, we are so fortunate in Wyoming to have a citizen legislature. Every one of you here have made sacrifices to be here. You leave you homes, your family, your work. And before we start this session, I just want to say to the President, to the Speaker, to all of you, how much I appreciate and how much it means to the entire state to have your service and I thank you for that.

I'm excited about the state and where we are. As I've done in the past, I have asked citizens of Wyoming to be here with me today so that I can recognize them, because we recognize that as the state is strong, it's because individual citizens do so much and have committed so much to our state.

And so first I want to start with Max Maxfield. Max serviced two terms as State Auditor, followed by two terms as Secretary of State. Last year, as you know, he decided to retire from state service. Max served Wyoming with energy, optimism, intelligence, honesty and civility.

Max and Gayla, we are sad to say farewell, but we wish you all the best. You both have served Wyoming, making a better place for us all. You are friends. You are dear friends.

I ask all of us to join me in recognizing Max and Gayla and their service.

17

Page 18: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

We are fortunate to have with us, as we've had in years past, members and representatives of the Shoshone and Arapaho Tribes. I got to meet with them before I came up here today, and they were gracious in letting me know that they had time on their hands, and they were – they offered to write my speech for me, and which I thought was a wonderful thing. That message wasn't passed on through the staff, otherwise I would have taken them up on that.

But there's no question we have challenging issues to deal with, which is sometimes the case with sovereigns. But no matter what, we do remain friends and neighbors with a common interest, that being a great affection for this beautiful place, Wyoming, we all call home.

If the tribal members would please stand. We always enjoy the opportunity to welcome you. Thank you for being here.

One of the great privileges I've had in my role as governor is to get to work with the men and women of our Guard. And I do wish on occasion that I could articulate what my eyes have seen of the work the men and women of the Guard do. It's absolutely amazing. And when I see then off as they're being deployed overseas, know this, that these men and women – often it's very early in the morning – they are hugging their spouse good bye. The grandparents are hugging them good bye. And sometimes you'll see a young mother or a young dad kissing a young infant good bye. It's a remarkable thing, because each one of them stand, raise their hand, and agree with everything it takes, including their life, to serve and defend this country.

We have about 2800 members in the Guard. Men and women of the Guard are ready for duty here at home and when duty calls them to a distant land. The Guard fights fires and much more, including fighting the war on terror. Wyoming soldiers have been busy. They've been in the thick of it; deployed overseas, serving bravely, missing home and family, as we miss them and anticipate their return.

Service and sacrifice. Service and sacrifice, whether for a single tour or over the course of a long military career, are no small things to give. They are huge, and we are deeply grateful.

General Luke Reiner, Wyoming's Adjutant General, is here. And I would say, General, we appreciate what our Guard, what all our military members, what our vets have given for Wyoming and for America.

General, we want you to stand so we may recognize you and the Guard.

Today, this morning, I think it's appropriate we remember John Schiffer. John served as a Wyoming senator for over 20 years, from 1993 until his death last June. In his long public service career John served in numerous leadership positions, including Senate President. He was an advocate for the Natural Resource and Wildlife Trust, and, among other things, was a supporter of education and mental health programs. He brought great intellect and a rancher's common sense to the legislature, and he had those big, big strong hands that were representative of his big heart and care for Wyoming.

He made a positive difference for each of us, and made a positive difference for all of Wyoming. And I ask you now to join me for a moment of silence in John's memory.

I'm thinking today also of 12 hours in the cold, in the dark, those who battled the blaze in Dubois on December 30th. We thank you.

The fire was a tragedy, and we are thankful there were no deaths or injuries. The town will rebuild, as unique and wonderful as ever. I have no doubt. To

18

Page 19: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

the people of Dubois, please know you also are in our thoughts and our prayers.

Now, I have broken my speech into two parts, two big parts. I want to first talk about the last four years, and then talk about where we should go from here.

The last four years....we did what we said we were going to do, and we've gotten results, and it's the way government should operate. We built upon the success of prior governors and prior legislators, and together we have made great strides for Wyoming.

When I took office in January 2011, Wyoming's unemployment rate was about 6 and a half percent. The state budget has doubled, had doubled the previous decade, and the state was coming off a period of government expansion.

High-speed broadband was limited. Only two cities had Ethernet at their schools. There was not state energy strategy. There was no water strategy. And in my mind, there was a growing, growing need to push back against federal overreach.

To set a course – to set a new course there was no time to waste. Nine days into office, my first state of the state address, I announced my vision for Wyoming. I said we would be focusing on the economy, focusing on broadband, infrastructure, assisting local government, consolidating state government, education and federal actions that were adverse to our state.

As part of our focus on the economy, we would continue to support our big three industries – energy, tourism and Ag – and that we would also seek to diversify our economic base. This was a tall order, but this is Wyoming, and we do not shy away from big tasks. So we took this on, all of it, and four years later we see the difference.

Starting with the economy. We made a real push for jobs, economic growth, diversification and supporting our big three. Here's some of the highlights. We have been able to welcome new enterprises, for example, NCAR, Microsoft, Searing Industries, Magpul, HiViz and oil-to-rail facilities.

We've been developing and beginning to implement our state energy strategy. In the last session you provided funding to continue with initiatives in energy strategy.

I have, and some of you have, gone to trade missions to places such as Hong Kong, Canada, South Korea and Taiwan to promote trade and tourism.

We’ve been funding predator control and brucellosis management and helping provide relief for drought and flooding.

We've provided strategic incentives and recruiting hard for data centers. Our efforts are paying off. Microsoft recently opened an innovative biogas-powered data center. The company is also investing $274 million in data center expansion, bringing its involvement in Wyoming to nearly half a billion dollars.

In December, Wyoming was recognized as a leader in the country for data center recruiting. This is the third year in a row Wyoming has received that recognition.

We have built our tourism in established markets, and established new ones as well. We love telling people about all Wyoming has to offer and we love to show it to them.

19

Page 20: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

Two years ago we added a new sporting event in Wyoming, the Cowboy Tough Adventure Race, to annual summer activities. For those of you that haven't seen that, it's got to be the toughest race in the world, as far as I'm concerned. It is truly cowboy tough.

On July 10, 2015, Wyoming will mark the 125th anniversary of statehood. This will be another special occasion for all of us to enjoy and to invite visitors from near and far.

Our focus on the economy has paid off. We see the success and we see national recognitions of our success.

Wyoming has received a number of accolades recently, including: This highest possible rating from Standard & Poor's for the last four years; we have the number one ranking for 2015 as the state with the best tax climate for businesses; we have been ranked as having the best return on investment for taxpayers in 2014; we the lowest state, lowest tax – local tax burden; we have the lowest foreclosure rate in the nation; we are ranked now as the second most pro-business state in the country; we are third best in economic performance. And in 2014, more Wyoming people were employed than ever before in the history of our state.

These rankings are important not for boasting rights, but they show the progress that we have made in four years. The economy was a priority four year ago, and we've made great strides.

Broadband was a priority, and we've made great strides. This brings opportunities – broadband brings opportunities for schools, businesses and individuals and for development of a tech center. I mentioned that when I started, only two school districts had Ethernet speed. Now everyone, every school district, all 48, have Ethernet speed.

We've increased high-speed connections to our schools by over 1900 percent. We've held summits to move broadband forward in 2012, '13 and '14, and we'll continue to do so.

And last year, as you all know, I asked for funding for the Unified Network. This network, I'm pleased to report, as of today is fully built. We got it done in less than a year. This network brings an even higher standard of broadband to our state, more fiber optic connections and gigabit speeds. The state has been a facilitator, helping on rights-of-ways, providing infrastructure upgrades for our schools and government, and they'll also be available to the private sector. We all, you, prepared the ground, but the private sector is now delivering the goods.

Ron McCue, who is president of Silver Star Communications. Last November Silver Star launched an initiative to offer gigabit-level broadband to communities in Western Wyoming. Efforts like this make Wyoming more competitive for tech businesses, for people who want to run global businesses from a home base in Wyoming, for everyone who uses a computer.

Gigabit-level broadband gives Wyoming ty type of access usually associated with large cities. Such access makes Wyoming a leader in broadband and a player in tech. We have not been called these things in the past, but we are now. We should be proud of this effort to diversity our economy.

Ron, we recognize what business leaders alike you are doing to make Wyoming a leader in broadband and a player in tech. Ron, please stand so we can recognize your effort.

So I've talked about the economy, and I've talked about broadband. Another priority four years ago was infrastructure. We know that for communities to

20

Page 21: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

thrive, for quality of life, for economic growth, and for commerce generally, infrastructure is essential.

We’ve been paying attention to Wyoming's infrastructure. Not counting school construction, here are a few examples: We've provided funding for the Gillette Madison water project and recognized future funding needed for completion; we passed a 10-cent per gallon gas tax increase – that produces $47 million for the state for road maintenance; we funded a new UW College of Engineering – $95 million, and $15 million match for construction; we've provided initial funding for five state facilities that need renovation, including the State Hospital, the Life Resource Center, the Veterans Home. You set aside $25.7 million to start and $20 million - $20 million more from the fiscal – for fiscal year 2015. We have provided funding for municipal landfills; we've supported the business council loan and grant programs for community development.

We have and should continue to invest, and we should continue to save. And the fact is, we have seen record savings. And we can be proud of that. But we have opportunities, again not down the road, but this session, to invest in more infrastructure. We do this because we know that Wyoming, the Wyoming we enjoy today, was built by those with vision and with courage. Our forbearers did not view the role of government as a bank. They were not hoarders, but builders. As we judge their work, we will also be judged on what we build for future generations. What opportunities have we provided for our children and our grandchildren? Have we made Wyoming a better place?

Another priority four years ago, and still, was assisting local government. Work gets done and lives are lived in our cities and towns and our counties. We know how great it is to live here, and we want our communities to keep doing better, for residents to attract more businesses and visitors.

We have additional funding – we have provided additional funding to local government each of these last four years. And during my time in office, more than once I have suggested longer-term solutions for funding local government. That included looking at a portion of the statutory 1 percent diversion. Added funding always matters, but when it comes a year at a time, in differing amounts, or perhaps not at all, this tends to hamper local planning and development evidence.

There's no question we have done well by local governments these past four years, but we still need to decide on longer-term funding for local government that they can count on, and this is the time – now is the time to work towards a solution.

One of the other areas that we have stressed these last four years is consolidating government. And we have done so. For example, we have addressed backlogs and delay; we got all state employees on the same email system; we have merged two agencies; we have developed a meaningful employee evaluation system; we have consolidated IT services; we reduced the standard budget by over 6 percent, reducing ongoing spending by over $60 million a year; we began a rules initiative for state agencies, and have significantly reduced roles – rules, some have reduced by almost 50 percent; and we have amended the state law to allow further reductions to provide an updated database, which will give everyone better access to rules; we have fewer employees now that we did four years ago.

State government has become more effective and more efficient. We are doing more with less.

Also a priority four years ago, and now, is education. As a state, we make sizable investment in education through block grants and school construction funding. In turn, such an investment should yield the best education possible for our kids.

21

Page 22: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

We started work on education accountability in 2011, and it continues. I note this session you will consider a bill to improve the state assessment system.

We have, over the last four years, increased awards under the Hathaway Scholarship program. We broke ground for the Enzi STEM facility at UW. We provided funding for UW science programs and facilities, and more is in my budget this year. I ask for your support on that proposal.

We joined Complete College America, CCA. We know the demands for our students to have a post secondary education is rising. CCA is another tool to help Wyoming students get the education, including, importantly, Career Technical Education they need to succeed.

We now have STEM Summits in Wyoming. And last April I attended the rollout of the STEM initiative for Sublette County School District 1. Fact is, STEM education is important at every level, and I look forward to more events like this.

All this work on education is lost without great teachers, teachers like Tyler Bartlett. Tyler is the 2015 Wyoming Teacher of the Year. He's a math teacher at Newcastle Middle School. He's in his sixth year of teaching and loves his job.

When he received his award he said, "There's a lot that goes into being a successful teacher. Sometimes we focus too much on teaching and not enough on learning. I think the real bottom line is that students have to be learning."

Tyler teaches a STEM subject, and is representative of the excellent teachers that we have in Wyoming. Tyler, please stand so we can recognize you. Congratulations Tyler.

We will keep working on education, every level – early childhood education, K-12, our community colleges and UW – to get things right. For the future of our state we have to get education right.

Another priority four years ago, and now, is federal actions that adversely affect our state. I will say Wyoming has been very aggressive these past four years in oppose g federal actions that affect our state. Sometimes we prevail. Fact is, sometimes we don't. But we know we cannot look the other way because the impacts are too great. We must continue together to stand against federal overreach.

One of my first acts in office, in fact, was to ask the Wyoming Attorney General to join the constitutional challenge to the ACA. This is an important lawsuit, and Wyoming had to be part of it. Many of us, including myself, did not like the result, but Wyoming did need to be involved.

We've also been very active in filing or joining actions to support grazing rights. We in Wyoming know how valuable Ag is, not just to our state, but, in fact, this country. It is one thing to not as a country, be able to fuel yourselves, it's another thing entirely not to be able to feed yourselves. We have to continue to have strong support for Ag.

In December we filed a case in Wyoming Federal District Court to require BLM to better manage wild horses.

We continue to fight for Wyoming's regional haze plan, and it's a good plan, for addressing visibility. Last fall, the Tenth Circuit upheld the state's plan regarding sulphur dioxides. And recently, we filed our brief in the Tenth Circuit in support of the state's plan as it relates to nitrogen oxides.

We have, as many of you know, most frequently done battle with the EPA. The reason is simply EPA rulemaking, under President Obama's administration, has been troubling at best. Wyoming is opposing the power plant rules, the proposed rules for waters of the U.S., as well as many other EPA act - EPA actions, and we'll continue to do so.

Wyoming's fight against federal regulatory overreach will not stop. Along with the Attorney General, along with the support of this body, we must all continue fighting for Wyoming.

Looking back at the past four years, there's some other matters I'll mention. We have reduced the DD wait list. We've undertaken job initiatives, including those with - for those with disabilities. We will continue our work in this area with unemployment - the Employment First concept.

At my direction, DFS has appointed a statewide homeless coordinator - and will create a 10-year plan to address homelessness. We have renewed our focus on suicide prevention with a statewide initiative.

Regarding worker safety, I support and I appreciate the safety alliances formed by the oil, gas, transportation, refinery and construction industries.

At the state level we've added new OSHA safety positions. We've created a $500,000 fund to provide matching grants to companies for safety equipment and training. We created a program to reduce workers compensation premiums for those willing to participate in health and safety consultations.

In addition, Workforce Services has developed annual reporting for better analysis of on-the-job accidents.

In 2013, we had a better year. We saw improved statistics, fewer fatalities and hospitalizations. This was encouraging. We haven't got the numbers on 2014, but we have reason to believe at this point that 2013 is going to be a better year than 2014.We need to continue to look how we do better as a state to emphasize workplace safety and improve job safety.

I know, as you all do, employers care, we all do, about getting workers home safely at the end of the workday. We have been headed in the right direction, but there is more progress to be made, and we have to keep at it. We will. For example, one of my funding requests is for passing lanes, and that is safety related.

Finally, in this look back, I'm very proud we have passed a law for veterans. In 2011, we created the Wyoming Veterans Home - excuse me, the Wyoming Veterans Welcome Home Day. Thanks to this law, at the end of March every year we hold ceremonies in communities around the state. This day is especially for vets, like our Korean vets, our Vietnam and Gulf War vets, who perhaps did not receive a proper homecoming after their military service ended.

And as I go to each one of these events at the end of March, it's a remarkable thing what you all have done on that Welcome Home Day. Because as you see these vets and you greet them, after you say a few words, it's astounding, because you have Vietnam vets, for example, who will greet you sometimes just with a nod or a handshake, sometimes with a hug, oftentimes with tears in their eyes, saying, "It's all I ever wanted, is to have somebody say 'welcome home' and 'thank you for your service.'

Certainly that is the least we owe our vets. So I congratulate this body in that wonderful concept. It has been tremendous.

And today we have a vet with us who knows what it's like not to get what you should when you return home. Arturo Archuleta served as an Army infantryman in

the Korean War. In 1951, Art was wounded in action and earned the Purple Heart. A few years ago it came to light the medal was never awarded.

Last November, 63 years after the fact, the situation was put right. Art received his purple heart at a ceremony in Cheyenne. It's never too late to put things right.

Veteran's initiatives like the Welcome Home Day, special license plates, recognition for - of service for professional licensing, and in-state tuition convey our respect and gratitude.

Art, we thank you and all our vets for serving and making sacrifices for our country. Art, please stand so we can recognize you.

To sum up, Wyoming has come far these past four years. Compared to unemployment at about 6 and a half percent in January 2011, we have unemployment at 4 and a half percent in November 2014, significantly lower than the U.S. unemployment rate.

Compared to ballooning costs of state operations the past decade, our state budget is staying relatively flat. We have improved state government, enhanced technology and infrastructure, given extra support to local government, developed an energy strategy, grown and diversified the economy, and tackled other tough issues.

So today I'm pleased to report to all of you, with full confidence, the state of the state is strong and getting stronger.

This is because of the work you've done. For example, creating a great climate for business. This is because of Wyoming's natural advantages, including abundant mineral and energy resources. Above all, this is because of Wyoming people, our greatest strength.

We should not take our eye off the ball now or our foot off the gas. We have built a solid foundation for our future. We will move ahead by building on the solid foundation laid, not by standing still.

We have been sowing the seeds and harvesting the crops. If we continue to plant and steward well, we will leave greener pastures and even a better legacy.

We have the fiscal resources, the people resources, the natural resources, and the civic leadership to make the difference for generations to come. We look at the next four years with - I look at the next four years with great optimism.

In my second term, I will continue to focus on the areas I've talked about today. They've been important from day one. They remain important, and there's more we can do on each.

To add these initiatives - to add to these initiatives, I would add coal initiatives, advancing our energy strategy, increasing international trade, forest health, Medicaid expansion and implementing our water strategy.

Again, I ask that we take on a great deal, but, again, I say Wyoming is always up to the challenge.

Regarding coal. Coal is critical to Wyoming, and we must assure its future. Beyond that, coal is critical to this country's future. And in my lifetime, I've never seen an onslaught against a single industry, a single commodity, like the Obama administration's anti-coal agenda. The EPA has had a green light to go after the coal industry, and six years later coal is still targeted by federal regulators.

24

Page 25: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

The coal industry provides about 40 percent of electricity for this country. It keeps us warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It keeps the lights on and the factories humming. It is, in fact, the fastest growing energy source in the world.

Here in Wyoming, the industry provides revenue for schools and infrastructure and thousands of direct and indirect jobs for Wyoming workers. In the coming years I will continue to work with bulldog determination on coal initiatives, port expansion, new technology and value - added products. In the coming years we don't need to let up, we need to double down. We must assure coal's continuity. There are legitimate opportunities, such as the Integrated Test Center project, and we must seize them.

We fight for coal, and we will fight for oil, and we will fight for gas and trona and uranium and other resources if they are targeted by oppressive federal regulations.

And part of that is advancing energy strategy. Last session you funded continued work on initiatives identified in the energy strategy. Our task is to go further to advance the strategy issued two years ago this May, by continuing the work on the initiatives and identifying new initiatives.

I mentioned international trade. Here's an interesting statistic. From 2010 to 2013, international trade grew from 983 million to 1.35 billion, a growth of 36 percent. We want to see that growth continue. And you have added 315,000 -- $350,000 in the biennial budget to develop international trade, funding I fully support. We are - my office and you all can use this funding productively to continue the progress that we've made.

Our forests, as you know, have been a challenge with beetle kill. And forests are a great resource. They provide homes for wildlife, lumber for industry, and places for recreation. We want our forests to be as healthy as possible, and so many have been devastated by beetle kill.

I put together a task force to look at the condition of our forests and make recommendations. I support these recommendations and have included funding in my budget proposal.

Last session the legislature asked the Department of Health to find the best deal possible for Wyoming under the ACA. We have seen over the last four years much more flexibility from HHS and CMS. Our Department of Health was able to craft what we believe is the best plan for Wyoming. Some in the legislature are looking at an alternative plan, and I appreciate their work.

Regarding the ACA, you, as I, may not like it, but it is upon us. We challenged it, but it is upon us. Two years ago - not last year, two years ago - as I said in my state of the state, let us try within the law that is upon us to find the best deal, the best fit for Wyoming under the ACA. I feel the same, say the same today.

And here's some facts regarding ACA. Fact is, small and large hospitals are anchors in our Wyoming communities. Fact is, businesses make clear to me they cannot recruit new people to an area without reasonable healthcare. Beyond that, they can't keep people in an area without reasonable healthcare. And if small hospitals close, our rural towns will suffer tremendous loss and opportunity for the future.

Fact is, we have working men and women of Wyoming who cannot afford healthcare. This is true now as it was when both I and the legislature supported Healthy Frontiers in an attempt to address the issue.

25

Page 26: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

The fact is, the Wyoming Hospital Association reports $200 million in uncompensated care. The number in terms of actual costs they believe is around a hundred million dollars.Fact is, economic analysis shows that Medicaid expansion would create about 800 jobs in Wyoming.

The fact is, many of us don't like the ACA, including me. But here's another fact, our federal tax dollars pay for ACA. Wyoming federal tax dollars help pay for the ACA. Do we choose to have that support, that Wyoming money, return to Colorado, to California, or to Wyoming? I say Wyoming.

My plan or yours or something better, we have fought the fight against the ACA. We've done our best to find the fit for Wyoming. We are out of timeouts, and we need to address Medicaid expansion this session.

Water strategy. Wyoming is subject to seven water compacts and two Supreme Court decrees. Water we are not committed to providing others under this compact and decrees belongs to us. It is Wyoming's water. And Wyoming water is key to our future. All of us need water: municipalities, industries, Ag, and individuals. It is our most important natural resource.

Water, more than anything, is tied to everything we do in the state. It's tied to everything we have done, and it's going to be tied to everything we do in the future. Yet Wyoming has not had a water strategy. Developing a water strategy was one of the initiatives identified in the energy strategy.

Over the last year or so, with wide public input, we have put together a very good strategy. It's going to be issued tomorrow and available online and in hard copy. The strategy includes a 10 in 10 proposal - 10 small reservoir projects in 10 years - and nine other initiatives, including a proposal for Fontenelle.

The time to protect our water is now. And as a state, we cannot afford to delay.

The supplemental budget gets us started on that. I ask for a transfer of about 18.6 million for the Water Development Account II. I hope you'll approve this request and the rest of my budget proposal. I also hope you'll consider supporting the water strategy in future budgets as you have supported the energy strategy.

The budget in general. This is a general session, so I have before you a modest $156 million budget proposal. It is a conservative supplement to the biennial budget. I believe it positions well - Wyoming well for the years ahead. It strengthens our UW and community college system. It makes investments in strategic areas.

The fact is, the state has these funds. We are well over $1 million in reversions, money unused by agencies, which together with SIPA dollars fully funds my proposal. With your recognition of the reversions, all funding is available.

My proposal keeps government operating costs relatively flat. State agencies have worked hard to keep budgets trim. Only 17 million, less than one half of a percent of the standard general budget is increased by my biennial budget, and is for operating and ongoing expenditures.

Now, I do make some funding requests that do not add to the future budgets. They are one-time proposals. These include $25 million for local government; 6.4 million for the municipal solid waste cease and transfer program; 21.2 million for passing lanes on Highway 59 between Douglas and Gillette and between Casper and Shoshoni; funding for the High Altitude Sports Performance Training Center, unconventional oil & gas reservoirs research, an

entrepreneurship initiative, science initiative, literacy program and athletic competitiveness, all at UW, and subject to private matching funds.

Here's the deal. We have one four-year land grant university. In those areas important to Wyoming such as Ag, science, engineering, we do not need to accept playing second fiddle to anyone. Private citizens are recognizing this. Private citizens of Wyoming have been giving many millions of dollars out of their own pockets to UW. And as with engineering, the science initiative has the ability to be transformational, making UW a leader, making Wyoming a leader. We want important academic programs at UW to be top tier.

And the same is true with athletics. I care about us competing. I care about us winning. It not only brings pride to our state - for example, the UW basketball team is in the top 25, as you may know. And this helps recruit students, increases alumni dollars, and builds the university.

The funding I'm asking for UW will serve notice loud and clear brown and gold is not fading. It will be brighter. We will be leaders in business, education, science, athletics, and many other areas.

Now, some of my funding requests may reoccur, but they would have to be asked for and approved again. For example, a new initiative I'm introducing today is called Wyoming Grown. Here is the situation. For decades Wyoming has had challenges keeping our kids in Wyoming after they graduate. Research shows that of all 18-year-olds working in Wyoming, on any given year, only an estimated 40 percent are still working in Wyoming 10 years later. We're losing 60 percent of our greatest talent.

Wyoming Grown will seek to recruit Wyoming computer programmers, doctors, welders, engineers and others, who have left the state but can continue to build their careers and raise their families here.

Workforce Services will use its network of employment specialists to connect job seekers with job opportunities. As part of the initiative, the tourism office is developing a Web page to highlight the wonderful qualities of our communities have to offer.

The initiative is not costly, I've asked for $10,000. But it is critical for continuing to strengthen our workforce. Businesses recruiting people to Wyoming know that if a Wyoming kid will come back, it's a great fit, because they are coming home. Let's open the door to get our kids home.

Another initiative in my budget proposal is for training and placement. We see that the private sector can do to help people become self-reliant We have with us today Ray Fleming Dinneen. She has a UW business degree, a doctorate in psychology from UNC. In 1986, Ray saw that single mothers needed help reaching independence. With her mother, Pat, she founded CLIMB Wyoming, a nonprofit organization which provides single mothers the resources needed to succeed on their own.

The program benefits mothers, children, communities and the state. It started in Cheyenne and branched out to other communities. Ray remains executive director.

More than 1600 mothers (with nearly 2600 children) have been served by CLIMB Wyoming.

My request for job training and placement is $1 million, and is subject to private matching funds. It's intended to allow innovative programs, like CLIMB Wyoming, to reach more people.

Ray, it's been remarkable all that you have done. Please stand so we can recognize your effort.

While the supplemental budget gets us started, there are other items in my budget that keep building Wyoming. These items are a list of forward-looking initiatives.

And here we have to recognize some hard facts. With oil dropping, the revenue estimates will be going down. And it should be a concern for all of us. But the fact is, it's not something new to Wyoming. We've experienced this in the past. Some of you have experienced it in the past from the legislature. But we are in a better position now than we've been in the past. We have positioned ourselves. And with less government, more efficient government, we will work through this We will be able to continue to build Wyoming.

Fact is, in Wyoming we have never spent revenue we don't have in hand. We're not like D.C., and we never will be.

We recognize the drop in oil prices. For each $5 drop, the state loses about $35 million in revenue a year. But we know safely we have 220 to 240 million for the next fiscal year. This counts reversions and SIPA, which I already mentioned, and investment earnings as of December 10, 2014, which will be realized on June 30, 2015.

This does not come out of savings. It fully funds my supplemental budget, as I've said, and it leaves money left over for the list. I'll single out a few. As I said in my budget message, we need to fund the Gillette Madison and the Capitol Renovation projects. I don't view either of those projects as optional.

In addition, we need to look at industrial parks, like the Heartland project in Canada, which would allow companies to cluster, benefit from each other, develop technologies and produce innovative products from our natural resources. They are vital to our economy, especially to energy, manufacturing and tech businesses. They'll benefit from the synergies such parks will provide.

These parks need infrastructure to get off the ground. The startup cost for a reserve account would be small, a small down payment for big future gains.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Wildlife Trust. Fully funding the Wildlife Trust would be a one-time expense, or, rather, a transfer to a different savings account. Once fully funded, the Trust would carry itself and would not be in any future budget. Full funding would show that in Wyoming we do not just talk about balancing conservation and development, we actually do it.

With us today is the Bousman family. They have been ranching in Boulder, Wyoming for over a century. The ranch has several thousand acres of private land and also uses federal grazing allotments.

Brad Bousman was the first to sign a Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances for sage grouse, and the first to ask about a similar agreement called a CCA, Candidate Conservation Agreement, used for federal lands. We congratulate him for these firsts.

Brad and his family represent the commitment of private landowners to take voluntary actions. Brad, we thank you for your commitment to conservation, and please stand.

Like the conservation efforts of private landowners, the Wildlife Trust is a powerful force. It benefits Ag, tourism, energy, wildlife and recreation. It

preserves our rich heritage. We can secure the Trust in perpetuity by fully funding the corpus.

In addition to addressing items on the list, we must also address our state's fiscal policy. Wyoming has billions of dollars in various savings accounts. The rainy day fund alone, during my time in office, which is a liquid account, was almost doubled. It has $2 billion in it. And the permanent mineral trust fund has grown by 55 percent in my time in office. Last year, $1 billion flowed into liquid and permanent savings accounts.

The CREG estimates, as we now know, do not tell the whole story. And the CREG does not provide a fiscal policy. There are questions to be asked and there's questions to be answered. For example, how much should we have in savings? What is the purpose of the rainy day account? Can we count earned investment income for planning purposes? In answering these questions, we need to recognize the stock markets can go up and down, but infrastructure has inherent value.

We need a sensible - fiscipal - fiscal policy going forward so we can continue to save and also continue to invest in the future. We need transparency. We need predictability. We need clarity. Only then, in good times and in lean, can we provide the best future for Wyoming. These discussions have already begun with leadership. They've got some great ideas. We must continue this conversation with the entire legislature.

As we go about our work, we continue in every way to be inspired by people around us, and I want to recognize a few of them today. Wyoming's 11,000 family farms and ranches give our state its special look and its special feel. Open spaces, beautiful views, historic buildings, growing crops, grazing livestock, we have these things and more thanks to Wyoming Ag. The working hands on our Ag lands make these operations tick and keep rodeo our state sport.

Russell "Pinky" Walter is from Lingle. He started in rodeo as a bull rider and served as a pickup man for bareback riders. Today he manages a ranch north of Fort Laramie. He still steer ropes. Pinky has spent his entire life on horseback.

The people he met on the rodeo circuit and while ranching got Walter thinking about a Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame. He and others interested in the idea carried it through. A Hall of Fame Board - and Pinky is vice chairman - established high standards. To qualify for induction, a person has to be more than 45 years old and have spent a majority of their life working on horseback on Wyoming ranches. The first induction ceremony was last fall.

Pinky, we recognize you, all Wyoming cowboys and cowgirls, and the initial inductees in the Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame. Pinky, you help keep Wyoming "Forever West." Thank you, Pinky.

Pinky, as an aside, I used to rodeo in high school, and there's no chance I'll ever be in that Cowboy Hall of Fame.

We think always about the importance of education in our state and what it means for kids and for our future. Walt Nolte represents our education system beyond K-12. He's been president of Casper College for the past 10 years. With leaders like Walt, our university and community college system is getting stronger and stronger.

UW and our seven great community colleges - and they are great - are on the same page. They want to provide the best post-high school education possible in our state, including what I believe is so important, career and technical education. They are focused on student success. It's a team effort, not compensation among entities.

29

Page 30: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

Walt will retire in June, and he leaves behind some impressive achievements, for example, the largest enrollment in college history, a dozen new programs, and five new buildings.

Walt, I thank you. We all thank you for your work. You'll be missed. Please stand so we can recognize you today.

Our predecessors made decisions that put Wyoming in an enviable position, and it is our job to preserve and improve upon it. We are a leader in energy, the environment, and many other areas. We're happy to take on the responsibilities that go with leadership, now and in the future. Since I took office, the constant in all my messages, besides Wyoming's strength, has been putting Wyoming first, believing in our people, local government, our small businesses to invest in our state and its future. My faith in Wyoming is as strong as ever.

We are small in number, but our citizens have kept the attributes that have made our state great. Independence, entrepreneurial spirit, optimism, humor and grit. We have these. Our folks have these, their kids, their grandkids. We must keep them in mind when we invest in the future of Wyoming. We have them in mind with all the decisions we make.

So as we go forward with courage, with respect, with civility, with motivation, not for ourselves, but for Wyoming, they make the future bright. May God grant us the wisdom. May God bless our state, our country, and all who live in our wonderful land. May God bless you. Thank you very much.

President Nicholas thanked Governor Mead for his message and introduced Chief Justice E. James Burke.

STATE OF THE JUDICIARYE. JAMES BURKE

Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Governor and Mrs. Mead, members of the 63rd Wyoming Legislature, elected officials, members of the judiciary, guests and citizens of the State of Wyoming. It is an honor to speak to you today on behalf of the dedicated men and women who serve in the judicial branch of our state's government.

I want to offer congratulations to the newly elected or re-elected members of the legislature and our five elected state officials. We also offer congratulations to President Nicholas and Speaker Brown upon their well deserved elevation to their leadership positions and thank them for their invitation to address you.

But at this point I need to depart from my prepared remarks to resolve some controversy that apparently exists, at least among some in the Senate, involving the oath of office for elected officials.

As you may know there was a -- at the inauguration, it's the duty of the Chief Justice to swear in the newly elected state officials, and we did that. Then a couple nights ago I ran into Senator Ross and Senator Von Flatern at dinner. And they were apparently enjoying the calm before the storm, relaxing. I stopped to wish them well. Senator Ross offered me some advice with regard to the state of the judiciary speech, which I will not get into at this point in time. And then as we were leaving, he said, "Next time you give an oath, at least act like you know their names." I said, "What are you talking about?" He said, "At the inauguration you didn't say their names. You said, 'I, state your name,' and then they stated your name -- and they stated their names." He said, "You're supposed to state their name." I said, "Oh, I'm not sure about that." And we talked about it a little bit back and forth. And it wasn't like I just went into that cold. We have some expertise on the Wyoming Supreme Court.

Chief Justice Kite, Justice Hill, they have been previous chief justices, have administered thousands of oaths. And I spoke with Chief Justice Kite about what do you do with the state elected officials? Do you say their name or do you ask them to state their name? She says that's a great, great question. A great question. She says because you're not quite sure. Like do they want their full name? Do they want their middle initial? What if they have a middle initial and middle name they don't like and they don't want to hear it? Leave it to them. It's a matter of mutual respect and respect for them, have some confidence - confidence in your public officials. So her go-to position was to let them state their own name, and that's what we do. And the - all of the elected officials, they came through in the clutch. I saw a brief moment of hesitancy in the Governor's eyes, and then he went with Matt.

But I said - and to - to win the argument, as I was leaving, Senator Ross said, "But Justice Kite said my name when she gave me the oath of office for the presidency - president of the senate." And so I said to Justice Kite, I said, "But - but you said Senator Ross's name. What about the go-to..." She said, "Well, there's also sort of a courtesy factor. If you think, you know, the pressure... And so I went with his name." And Senator Ross, I will tell you this, I've known you for a long time. And Justice Kite - and I trust her judgment. I trust her leadership, but we don't always agree. And I am here to commit to you today that if ever I get the chance to give you an oath of office, I will count on you to remember your name.

Speaking of Justice Kite. This year we will be celebrating the 125th anniversary of statehood. And there may be a tendency to go back in time to look for historical tidbits. But there has been history made in this state in our judiciary over the last four years. During that time, Justice Kite served as the chief justice of the Wyoming Supreme Court. She completed her tenure on June 30, 2014. She was Wyoming's first woman chief justice. In a few minutes I'm going to tell you that the state of the Wyoming judiciary is strong. That's true, and it's largely because of her efforts. I'm going to talk about various programs and initiatives. Many were started on her watch. It's been an honor to serve with her on the Supreme Court and be part of history. She is a wonderful person, and the state and our citizens have all benefitted greatly from her leadership. Please join me in acknowledging Justice Kite.

Senator Bebout has asked me about the job of Chief Justice, and I told him - I said it is a pretty exciting, pretty neat job. And Senator Bebout then said, well, it sounds like it's a great job, but the only problem for you guys is you have to follow Justice Kite as chief, and I agree with that.

But I am pleased to report that the state of the judiciary is strong. And this morning I want to spend a few minutes explaining why that is so. More specifically, I'm going to spend time talking about the legislature's contribution to that state of affairs. We have much to thank you for.

I mentioned that at the breakfast this morning. And Representative Burkhart, on the Appropriations Committee, I told him I was going to take that approach, and he says, "What are you asking for?" Typical. And I said, "Actually, our requests this year are very modest." And that makes - it gives me much more credibility when I explain what I believe the legislature has done that has helped make this judiciary very strong.

As you're probably aware, the primary mission of the judicial branch is to provide a forum for fair, impartial and timely resolution of legal disputes in accordance with the rule of law. In order to fulfill that mission, adequate resources must be committed and there must be an adequate structure in place. The basic structure for our court systems was established in our constitution. Over the years it has been tweaked. The most recent reorganization occurred at the beginning of this century when circuit courts were established. Senator

John Schiffer played a huge role in that endeavor. And like you, we mourn his passing.

Most often the discussion between our two branches relates to funding. Sometimes there has been disagreement. As someone once said, "The legislature answers every funding request," but sometimes it's "no." But often the answer has been "yes."

When the judicial branch has made the case, the legislature's provided funding to ensure that the judicial branch remains strong. It funded new judgeships when caseloads became prohibitive. It led the way in the transition to electronic filing. It increased judicial salaries to appropriate levels to ensure a high-quality pool of applicants. Five years ago, for the first time, it passed legislation providing funding for civil legal services for the indigent. It funded the renovation of the Wyoming Supreme Court building, on time, on budget.

I'm just saying. And I would say this, that we hope - that the time actually that we were out of the building went quickly. We are so pleased with the improvements, and we hope that you all have - the renovations you're contemplating have the same impact on you and you have the same results. So we wish you all the best in that endeavor. Five years ago, for the first time, Wyoming legislature provide - passed legislation providing funding for civil legal services for the indigent. Throughout, the legislature has been responsive to our requests for adequate staff and resources to fulfill our mission. And the judicial branch of government has endeavored to use those resources wisely and efficiently.

In this current session we will be making supplemental budget requests for funding in two areas. But before I re-address those requests, I would like to discuss funding for court security. Chief Justice Kite spoke at length about the issue last year in her address to this audience. Her remarks were compelling, and I will not repeat them now. Suffice it to say, it remains a priority.

During the last legislative session, Fremont and Sweetwater Counties were able to obtain state funding to assist them in construction of improvements that were necessary to provide adequate security for their state court facilities. I'm pleased to report that construction of a new courthouse is well underway in Riverton. As you recall, a bullet through the metal walls of the building housing the circuit court in Riverton brought home the urgency of court security issues.

Since the last session, the court has taken additional steps to address court security. We received two grants from the State Justice Institute. The first was a $50,000 grant to conduct court security assessments in Albany, Platte, Goshen, Niobrara, Weston, Crook, Big Horn and Park Counties. The second was a $30,000 grant to provide court security training at three regional sites. Over 160 judges, law enforcement personnel, attorneys and other community members attended. The last assessment was completed in December. In this session we will be seeking funding for needed court security improvements in line with those assessments.

Our first supplemental budget request involves the transition to electronic filing. As most of you are probably aware, the Wyoming Supreme Court has used an electronic filing system which has provided access to our cases since 2008. Our district courts, however, have been operating on four separate electronic docket management systems, which were incompatible with each other and generally inaccessible except to the courts which employed them. As of March 2014, all of the data held in those systems has been moved into a single system, which is already accessible to the Supreme Court and the district judges. As with all new systems, this one provided challenges, which were not anticipated in development. But many issues with the system have been

32

Page 33: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

resolved, and the rest are scheduled for resolution soon. We appreciate the assistance and patience of the district clerks of court as we have worked through these challenges. We also appreciate the indispensable hard work and dedication of our supreme court information technology staff.

The new system is also already yielding benefits for district judges and their chambers. They can access files electronically and store them on tablets or computers for easy and efficient use in chambers or in hearings in open court. Since the system's inception, an enormous amount of data has been stored in this new system. If it were in paper form, it would already exceed the height of the tallest building in the United States.

We plan to add a module which will allow the judges to more efficiently schedule and track their cases within the next couple of months. We also plan to roll out electronic filing in test courts this year. This feature will allow attorneys to file and access documents from their offices. Our citizens can currently access the public docket and scanned filings using public terminals in our courthouses. With e-filing in place, that access becomes possible over the Internet.

We plan to adapt the district court system to the circuit courts next. To that end, we've asked the legislature to return $400,000, which was previously appropriated but reverted to the general fund at the end of fiscal year 2014. Those funds will allow us to move data from the existing circuit court systems to a new system, which will also permit electronic docket management, electronic filing and public access. We appreciate the foresight and wisdom of this body - this body has shown in allocating funds to help our courts achieve greater efficiency and greater transparency in the electronic age.

In our second supplemental budget request, we are seeking legislative authorization to spend an additional $100,000 in support of the legislative mandate to provide civil legal services to the indigent of this state. These funds have already been collected. We are just seeking authorization to put them to good use. For those who may not be familiar with this legislation, and because so much has happened in the past few years, a little background is warranted.

In 2010, the 60th legislature enacted Wyoming Statute 5-2-121 and related legislation. As a result of that legislation, an account was created to fund and support a statewide program to provide civil legal services to individual - indigent individuals within the state. The account was to be funded from assessments on court filings in the same fashion as the court technology fund. It is administered by the Supreme Court. Eligibility for legal services funded by the account is limited to individuals with income at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. It is our understanding that there are approximately 67,005 or 11.5 percent of the Wyoming's estimated population living below the federal poverty level. The number of people living below 200 percent of the poverty level in Wyoming is estimated at 30 percent of the federal - of our population, approximately 174,797 people.

In April of 2011, the Wyoming Center for Legal Aid was created by the Wyoming Supreme Court as the entity responsible for building the statewide program. Because of potential confusion with the names of other legal service providers, the Center recently changed its name to Equal Justice Wyoming. Equal Justice Wyoming is governed by a board of commissioners appointed by the Supreme Court.

Time does not permit me to list the names of all board members, but I mention them as a group because their time commitment has been substantial and their leadership remarkable. Throughout, they have stayed true to the legislative vision of a statewide program. I'm not going to mention the names of those individuals, but there is one member of the - one of those commissioners that's on that board that is present here in this building today, and she has

33

Page 34: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

already been recognized. And she's made a wonderful contribution through CLIMB Wyoming, and she's also, excuse me, making a wonderful contribution to this access to justice effort. Please recognize Ray Fleming Dinneen.

Here is what has been accomplished. They have used the grant process to provide direct legal services. There is a legal hotline run by Legal Aid of Wyoming that serves as a single point of entry. The hotline is manned by two lawyers who provide direct and timely legal information. Those lawyer positions are funded by a grant from Equal Justice Wyoming.

There are now legal aid offices in Rock Springs and Gillette. The offices are run by Legal Aid of Wyoming, but funding for those two lawyers is provided by Equal Justice Wyoming. And every attempt has been made to leverage resources. Office space was donated by community organizations. In Rock Springs, the office space and overhead is provided by Sweetwater County Family Justice Center. Office space in Gillette is donated by the Council of Community Services.

Funds from the Equal Justice Wyoming grant have enabled the coalition against domestic violence and sexual assault to maintain two full-time attorneys to handle cases throughout the state to assist victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. The grant pays 100 percent of one attorney's position, and a portion, roughly 25 percent, of a second full-time attorney position. The coalition currently has cases pending in 15 counties in the state. The Teton County Access to Justice Center was created in 2012 with a grant from Equal Justice Wyoming, and has continued to expand its services since that time. It's housed in the Teton County Law Library and provides legal information and self-help services, in addition to providing legal representation through a panel of private contract attorneys. Eligible clients may be referred to a private person who are paid at a reduced rate from grant funds.

The Wyoming Children's Law Center also received a grant to provide assistance to children and families with legal needs. It fills an important need by providing advocacy to ensure children receive special education services to which they are entitled. Equal Justice Wyoming has also focused on the pro bono aspect of the puzzle. It partnered with the Wyoming State Bar to breathe new life into efforts to establish an effective and dependable pro bono program. They launched the "I'll Do One" program last year. This goal is to encourage Wyoming lawyers and law firms to take on at least one pro bono case. I would encourage you to view the program video. It can be found on the Bar's website, and also the Equal Justice Wyoming website. It's professionally done. And it should be noticed - noted that the services creating the video were donated. In coordination with the State Bar, they helped launch a pro bono program to provide legal services to our veterans. Sixty attorneys from across the state have signed up.

Equal Justice Wyoming has provided training. Again, in cooperation and coordination with the Bar, they have traveled the state conducting training in limited scope representation. The goal is to raise attorney, judicial and public awareness of that option. When limited scope representation is utilized, an attorney helps a client by providing limited but crucial legal assistance at an affordable cost for a specific aspect of the case. The concept is particularly applicable in the domestic relations environment where legal forms exist and clients often represent themselves.

Equal Justice Wyoming has also made effective use of technology in an effort to serve as many as possible. It has a legal information and self-help website that was launched in 2012. The website had 19,660 visits last year.

The majority of the client needs in this area involve domestic relations matters. Currently there is a lack of lawyers who are willing to take on domestic relations cases. Equal Justice Wyoming, in conjunction with the Bar,

34

Page 35: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

is trying to change that. It is - and also has undertaken significant effort - efforts to enable clients to help themselves. After two years of planning, preparation and programming, and in collaboration with the Supreme Court and the Court's IT department, Equal Justice Wyoming launched an automated interview program that walks the litigant user through a series of questions and answers that are used to create complete and accurate family law forms, similar to Turbo Tax, that are already - that are ready for filing with the court.

Currently, the program only applies to divorces without children, but a divorce with children program is on the way.

Equal Justice Wyoming obtained a grant from the ABA to set up five Skype sites in rural communities to connect with attorneys providing pro bono service - advice. I could go on, but I won't because of time constraints.

There's an old adage relating to perennial plants." The first year you sow, the next year is slow, and the third year they grow." I think it captures perfectly what we are witnessing as a result of your legislation and the efforts of Equal Justice Wyoming, the State Bar and its members, and all in our communities who are working to make the promise of equal justice and access to the courts contained in our constitution more attainable. We are confident that many of the programs that have been initiated will take root and flourish.

More will come online. More of our citizens will be served, and none of it - none of it would have been possible if the legislature had not taken that monumental step.

I also believe that the legislation has had an additional impact. It has influenced a tone and focus of discussions relating to our system of justice.

Our constitution promises equal justice for all, not just the wealthy or the very poor. Often those sentiments have been tied to the concept of the rule of law that was mentioned at the beginning of my remarks. The rule of law holds that no one is above the law. All are to be treated equally in our courts. "Our courts," Atticus Finch told the jury, "are the great levelers."

And all of that is true. Our courts and judges make very difficult decisions and apply it - and apply the rule of law every day. It is what makes our system of justice the best in the world. But the rule of law doesn't help much if you can't get into court. It doesn't help if you forgo pursuing justice because it takes too long or is too expensive. It doesn't help if cases are settled because of cost and delay, rather than being decided on the merits. While our courts have always been concerned with the practical aspects of litigation, it seems now that there is a greater sense of urgency and willingness to take a fresh look at how justice in this state is administered.

Historically, the justice system has taken a one-size-fits-all approach to our rules involving litigation. We can no longer continue down that path.

Under the leadership of Chief Justice Kite, the Rule 1 initiative explored potential changes to bring our system more in tune with the goal of just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action. When the jurisdiction of circuit courts was increased to $50,000 by this body, the Supreme Court, upon the recommendation of the Board of Judicial Policy, enacted rule changes for civil actions in circuit courts, limiting discovery and establishing a time frame by which the litigation should be concluded. It should not cost $50,000 to pursue a $50,000 claim. More study is required, but it is our understanding that the rules are proving effective.

And if we find them to be effective, hopefully that will provide a great incubator and a stepping stone to improvements in other courts.

Domestic relations cases comprise a significant percentage of the district court docket. As mentioned previously, it is an area where more individuals are representing themselves. The primary reason is cost. At the beginning of this year, a pilot project for divorce cases went into effect in three districts. Under the program, parties can opt in. Discovery is limited. Depositions cannot be taken. Experts cannot be used. The parties will receive a trial within 150 days of the opt in. Trial time will be limited to four hours with two hours for each side. We are hopeful that the program can relieve some congestion in the courts and result in lower costs for the parties. If it works, it will be expanded. If it fails, we'll go back to the drawing board. In any event, we will continue to explore options to increase efficiency and reduce costs for the parties. We must understand the practical realities of our system of justice and do what we can to eliminate cost and delay. The trick is that all of this has to be accomplished while maintaining the opportunity for a fair and full hearing.

Our judges are focusing even more on docket management techniques in an effort to identify methods that will allow cases to be resolved in a time frame that will provide timely justice for the parties The technological advances discussed previously will make it easier for our judges to manage their dockets. It will become easier to identify the cases that are lagging and move them along.

And speaking of our judiciary, there's been some changes. Five new judges were appointed this year. Judge Catherine Rogers was appointed as a district judge in the First Judicial District in Cheyenne to replace Judge Peter Arnold, who retired. Judge Tom Lee was appointed to the Circuit Court to replace Judge Rogers. Judge Matt Castano filled the circuit court position resulting from the untimely death of Judge Fred Dollison, who passed away in February of last year. Fred had served the citizens of Crook and Weston Counties and the Sixth Judicial District as a circuit judge for 11 years. He was a good judge and a better man. He will be missed.

Judge Antoinette Healy was sworn in on the last day of the year to take over as a circuit judge for retiring Judge Roberta Coates in the first judicial district. Her robing was held Monday, and it was a wonderful affair. Governor Mead attended. He has attended every robing since he's been in office, and at 16, 17- we're trying to figure out the exact number - but we simply cannot express to him how it means to the new - how much it means to the new judge and the judicial branch that he finds the time to attend. Additionally, he speaks so eloquently regarding our system of merit selection. With his words and actions, he inspires public confidence and trust in our judicial - in our system of justice. Thank you, Governor Mead.

Finally, Joe Bluemel will be replacing Judge Dennis Sanderson as a district judge in the Third Judicial District. He will be sworn in this week. We offer our thanks for a job well done to those judges who are retiring and offer our congratulations and support to the new members of the judiciary.

Before leaving this topic, I should also mention the passing of Judge Vernon Bentley. He was 99. Judge Bentley served with distinction as a district judge in the Second Judicial District in Laramie for 25 years. As you are an aware, in 2014, Federal District Judge Clarence Brimmer also left us. He, too, was a wonderful judge, and a mentor - mentor to many, including several who now sit on the bench. He was a remarkable individual, and this ceremony today, which he attended so often, is diminished somewhat because of his absence. We miss him and his smile.

All of our new judges are products of our merit selection process. Since becoming chief, I've had the opportunity to witness our Judicial Nominating Commission in action. You would be proud. They understand the magnitude of their responsibility and treat it accordingly. The governor will attest that

36

Page 37: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

they make his job of selection very difficult because he must choose from three very qualified candidates.

For those of you who may be unaware, our merit selection system is now more than 40 years old. Since it has been with us for so long, perhaps we now take it for granted. But that would be a mistake. It is a system that should be appreciated, cherished and protected. And the legislative leadership that provided our citizens the opportunity to ratify the constitutional amendment establishing this selection method should be applauded.

It is fortunate that our merit selection system works so smoothly. Our courts are busy, and all five of our new judges confronted very busy dockets when they took office. The judicial workload is excessive in several of our districts. In Laramie County, for example, the three district judges are handling the caseload of four judges. The Third, Fifth and Sixth Districts also could use additional help. We will continue to monitor the situation and will keep you apprised.

Everything we can do to improve public trust and confidence in our system of justice should be done. Our judges promote that trust when they handle cases efficiently, ensure that litigants feel they have had a fair hearing, and decide cases in a timely manner with a solid explanation for the reasons for their decisions.

Our merit selection process also contributes, but that is no longer enough. In this day and age, public trust and confidence in our system of justice must be cultivated.

There is no question that the more people understand about our system the more confidence they have in it. Unfortunately, many of our citizens do not have a solid understanding and appreciation of our system. Our judicial branch is committed to an outreach program to close the education gap. We have been involved in the iCivics program since 2012. Last year we initiated the "You Be the Judge Program." The first session was held in Laramie County. The students, ranging in age from 10 to 80, were presented with close fact situations and had to apply the rule of law to decide those cases. They had to decide who gets custody, whether evidence should be admitted or rejected, whether someone should receive prison or probation, and they took it seriously. One student, agonizing over a custody decision, provided this insight "You said this would be fun. You said this would be easy, but it's hard. And how do judges make these decisions every day?"

We think the students who attended have a better appreciation of our system of justice, and we intend to take this or similar programs to every judicial district. One is coming to Rock Springs in early February, and it looks like we'll - that we'll be going to Sheridan in April. Yesterday we received two calls asking for one in Casper and another wondering when the next Cheyenne session is going to be held.

That is going to be a time commitment of our judges, but I notice that Judge Sharpe, Judge Campbell, other members of the Laramie County District Court, the Supreme Court justices that are all here today, every one of them participated in that "You Be the Judge" program. And Judge Campbell, I believe, was in the middle of a several-week murder trial, and still made the time to come. And our justices are committed to these types of education efforts because it means so much to our system.

But in terms of outreach, nothing compares to the judicial learning center that you addressed last session. We have made significant progress in obtaining matching funds, and are close to reaching our first phase funding goals. As you may be aware, there are serious limitations on the judiciary's ability to obtain donations, but fortunately the Wyoming Bar has stepped up and taken on the funding aspect of this important project. We believe that the

37

Page 38: HOUSE BIll Digest - Wyoming Legislaturelegisweb.state.wy.us/2015/HouseDigest.docx  · Web viewknows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,

educational dividends generated by this project will benefit our citizens and our - and our state for years to come. One of the best things about becoming chief justice is that you get to meet more of our judicial branch employees and learn of the important work that they are doing. Our branch is very lean when it comes to the number of employees, but the employees that we have are very dedicated to our mission. The strength in our judicial branch is in large measure a result of their efforts. We also have a dedicated judiciary. We expect a lot from them, but if you attended Judge Healy's robing, or, for that matter, any judicial robing, you would know that no one expects more from our judges than they expect from themselves.

Before closing, I should also mention some changes here at the Supreme Court. We have a new court librarian, Eugenia Charles-Newton. Eugenia will be invaluable in assisting with our court outreach efforts.

We also have a new court administrator. Lily Sharpe replaces JoAnn Odendahl, who will be missed greatly.

I saved the Lily part for late in the speech. I think we owe the Legislative Service Office of your body a few draft choices in the - in the future, but - but we're excited. We are excited, very excited, to have Lily. I believe that she is the perfect position - person for this position. You all know how competent she is, and you'll be seeing a lot of her as we move through the session.

Finally, I would be remiss if I did not mention my colleagues on the Supreme Court bench. It is a pleasure to work with Justices Hill, Kite, Davis and Fox. And it is an indescribable honor to have been selected by them to serve as chief justice.

And before my final comment, I also want to touch base one more time on comments that the governor has made. He mentioned the military, and we would offer our thanks to all those in the military. But he makes the effort to see them off and welcome them when they return home. And we've seen the impact of that firsthand.

Our daughter is a C-130 pilot in the Wyoming Air National Guard, and she is currently deployed. And she's told us how much that means to her. And with regards to the Internet and the fact that this is being taped, she asked me to give her a fist pump.

In any event - Thank you. Thank you again for the opportunity to visit with you this morning, and we wish you all the best as you go about the important work facing you in this session. Good luck and Godspeed.

(a) The legislature finds that the state of Wyoming has an abundance of natural mineral resources which provide the basis of the state's economy. The vast majority of Wyoming's extracted mineral wealth is consumed or converted to higher value products outside of the state of Wyoming.

(b) The legislature finds that it is in the interest of the state of Wyoming to encourage the development of industries in this state which convert the state's mineral resources to higher valued products prior to exportation from the state.

(c) The legislature finds that to promote the development of facilities which convert minerals to value added products in the state of Wyoming it may be necessary for the state to enter into ventures with private entities which own and operate value added facilities. This act creates a program whereby the state of Wyoming may enter into a contract to provide feedstock minerals to a mineral to value added product facility, pay a tolling fee to the operator for the conversion of the feedstock to a higher value product and receive the sale price of the value added product, less any reasonable fees negotiated between the state of Wyoming and the operator of the facility.

(d) It is the intent of the legislature that any contract entered into under this act will produce a positive return on the funds committed by the state of Wyoming.

(e) The legislature finds that a program to encourage the development of minerals to value added products in Wyoming will benefit the state of Wyoming and serves a public purpose for the citizens of the state of Wyoming by creating additional revenues for the state, diversifying the state's economy and providing employment opportunities for citizens of the state.".Page 18-line 11 Delete "Section 3." insert "Section 4.".
