State Sen. Tim Salazar, R-Riverton, who sponsored Senate File 109, said outside voices have the right to express their opinions, but that they don’t necessarily represent the views of most Wyomingites.
“They have every right to make their statements with what they believe,” he told Cowboy State Daily, adding that the criticism falls on mostly deaf ears in Wyoming.
“I don’t think they are in touch with the vast majority of Wyoming citizens or the values that we hold in Wyoming,” he said. “What the people of New Jersey or the District of Columbia believe is right for them is different than what is right for the people of Wyoming.”
