CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Wyoming House District 45 Representative Charles Pelkey, who also serves as the Minority Whip said today in a Facebook post that Governor Gordon is “suddenly under a lot of pressure to “reopen” the economy no matter what the recommendations from health officials might be.”
Gordon’s first of three orders was placed in mid-March in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently the restrictions have been extended until the end of April.
In Pelkey’s post on social media, he said that he, and other legislators, had just completed a conference call with the Governor. Pelkney reports that during the call, Gordon said that he wants to rely on the side of caution and rely on the advice of health experts when it comes to making a decision on when the state can ease restrictions and individuals.
