Teton County residents have the chance to attend and give public comment at two legislative committee meetings in their backyard this week.
The Wyoming Legislature’s Travel, Recreation, Wildlife and Cultural Resources Committee will meet in Jackson on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the Air Transportation Liaison Committee is scheduled to meet in the Tetons on Thursday. Rep. Andrew Byron, R-Hoback, co-chairs both committees and encouraged residents to show up in-person.
“It’s a privilege to be able to host this meeting in Jackson,” Byron said. “A lot of the feedback I get from constituents is, ‘What’s the best way to engage in our democracy and engage in government?’ And this is a great opportunity.”
The Travel Committee will begin its two-day meeting from 10 a.m. to at least 4 p.m. Tuesday at Teton County Library. On Wednesday, the second day of the meeting will start at 9 a.m. and run until around 3 p.m.
The meeting kicks off with a discussion about ticket scalping. Over the course of the meeting, the committee will cover tourism, state parks and cultural resources, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and its budget, commercially guided fishing boats and more.
Legislators will hear updates from some of the top airlines in the state, including changes in technology, economic headwinds airlines face in the industry and passenger loads at the nine airports in Wyoming. A number of airports are close to being functional without any supplemental funding assistance and running independently based on ticket revenue, Byron said.
