WPM PAC SPONSORS WY BUDGET DISCUSSION EVENT ONLINE

The Wyoming Petroleum Marketers Political Action Committee is sponsoring the Powell Economic Partnership (PEP) Advisory Board "How is Wyoming Going to Pay the Bills Today and in the Future?" panel discussion on January 28, 2020, at Noon. WPM PAC genuinely believes that all Wyominites need to hear this discussion given the structural budget issues the state now faces. To that end, WPM PAC suggested and agreed to sponsor the online streaming of the event so that all Wyoming citizens could hear this important discussion. WPM PAC Corporate Contributions that can only be spent on non-candidate/campaign-connected electioneering and educational endeavors will be tapped for the sponsorship. Here is the promotional information from the PEP web site:
 
"Powell Economic Partnership has partnered with the Wyoming Business Alliance to bring a crucial conversation to Park County and the Bighorn Basin and online. Economic development is working hard locally, regionally and statewide to strengthen and add value to our heritage economic engines like energy, agriculture and tourism and also to diversify our economy - and we are having some successes! How is Wyoming Going to Pay the Bills Today and in the Future? As business and community leaders, and as citizens of our state, we need to understand the landscape - today and tomorrow - to best make decisions on the opportunities before us."
The event is being held at the Yellowstone Conference Center at Northwest College in Powell. The College and PEP are working out the online streaming details that WPMA will announce as soon as finalized. So, please save-the-date and watch for further announcements.
