Over the (capitol) Hill

When he went to the final day of the 2009 legislative session in Cheyenne on March 5, House Speaker Colin Simpson, R-Cody, was greeted by colleagues clad in black.

They weren’t mourning the Wyoming Legislature’s adjournment — instead, they were celebrating Simpson’s 50th birthday.
Simpson, who finished his first session as speaker of the House and his 11th in the Legislature, is featured in Tuesday’s edition of the Tribune.

In an interview with Gib Mathers, Simpson reviews bills that will further Wyoming’s energy industry while protecting the environment and bills designed to protect consumers.
