The Wyoming Education Association, the state affiliate of the DC lobbying organization National Education Association (NEA), is driving our education costs higher while test scores plummet. The education legislation and budgets they have successfully lobbied for in Cheyenne have been responsible for a 25% increase in per-pupil spending since 2011. And test scores? In 2024,…
Honor Wyoming conducted a statewide parent poll on public education, asking families to grade their public school experience on important criteria like curriculum quality, parent communication, career readiness and whether their values are respected in the classroom. Hundreds of families across Wyoming participated in our survey, providing us with valuable insights into what was driving…
Across the country, lawmakers from both sides of the political spectrum are demanding transparency in the federal 340 B drug rebate program. The “B”, as it turns out, ought to stand for “boondoggle.” Congress enacted Section 340B of the Public Health Service Act in 1992 with the stated goal of providing inexpensive pharmaceuticals to hospitals…
On June 27, the Wyoming Education Association (WEA), a leftwing advocacy group that represents public school bureaucrats, persuaded a judge to temporarily block the state’s new Education Savings Account (ESA) program from taking effect on July 1. The WEA is a longtime advocate against giving families choice in education, regularly lobbying lawmakers in Cheyenne to…
After each legislative session, Honor Wyoming releases the Wyoming Political Integrity Index. The Integrity Index measures a lawmaker’s integrity based on action, not talk. Because keeping your word is more than a fair standard to set for any self-respecting Wyomingite. And we should expect nothing less from our elected leaders. After every legislative session, each…
A poll is only as good as its methodologies. Understanding a poll’s methods and techniques—how researchers collect responses, phrase questions, analyze data, and account for bias—is critical for knowing if you can trust that it accurately captures a population’s sentiments. A poll that relies on shoddy methodology and loaded questions should not inspire confidence. Conducted…
Last October, we examined a WyoFile story about the race between two Republicans for Wyoming House District 57. Our exam illustrated the subtle and not-so-subtle ways leftwing media outlets cloak their biases in the reassuring language of “facts” and “objectivity.” That story, framed in such a way as to quietly promote one candidate at the…
The National Conference of State Legislatures’ leftwing stances raise questions about its commitment to nonpartisanship. Conspicuous double-dealing on behalf of liberal and progressive interests is not unique to widely known institutions, like Harvard, CNN, or the National Institutes of Health. A broad array of liberal organizations that claim the mantle of nonpartisanship operate behind the…
The poll results are in. And the people’s voice is loud and clear, with over 1,500 Wyomingites weighing in*. The message to lawmakers couldn’t be more obvious. 99% of Wyoming thinks it is a violation of the Wyoming and US Constitution that the State government is censoring communications between voters and elected officials. What happened? …
For 35 years, the Wyoming Community Foundation (WYCF) has been “connecting people who care with causes that matter to build a better Wyoming.” With over $100 million granted to charitable causes and support provided to nonprofit agency fund holders across the state, their positive impact on local communities is undeniable. WYCF proudly serves donors by…
