Banks outlines top priorities for upcoming budget session

Dalton Banks, District 26 representative in the Wyoming House of Representatives, is heading into his second legislative session during his first term in office, the budget session of the 67th Legislature.
Banks said his main focuses are a balanced budget, education and mental health services.
Banks said that he is feeling more prepared for this legislative session after going through his first session last year.
“I’m starting to understand the process a little bit more of what goes into making laws and all of the backdoor, behind the scenes things that also play into the official process of creating a law,” he said.
Some of his main priorities for the upcoming budget session, which convenes on February 12, are limiting property tax increases and allocating funding for mental health services via the 988 hotline.
