THIS WEEK'S POLL

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

LAST WEEK'S RESULTS

(WyomingNetwork does NOT represent this as a scientific poll.) Congress is considering legislation that would allow employers to offer comp time instead of overtime to employees who work more than 40 hours a week.   If you work extra hours, would you want to be paid in time off, or overtime? Time off 23.6% Overtime 76.4% Over the last few weeks, several airlines announced increases in the fees charged for changing flight plans, luggage, carry-on bags, and in-flight service. Will the extra fees involved in flying affect your plans for air travel?   Will you take fewer trips, drive where you want to go, or continue with the same travel plans? No changes, I have to fly when I travel 16.4% Yes, I plan to make fewer trips 27.3% I will be driving instead of flying 56.4%
