Taxes and Local Services: Voters rejected Proposition 1, which would have cut property taxes on primary homes by exempting half their assessed value. Laramie County voters renewed the fifth-penny sales tax and 2% lodging tax; the sales tax is expected to generate about $80 million for Cheyenne over four years, largely for roads. Energy and Workforce: Peninsula Energy’s Wyoming uranium ramp-up remains constrained by slow wellfield flows, though the company kept next year’s production outlook. Bechtel pledged $1 million to Wyoming community colleges for skilled-trades training.
