Building A Strong Wyoming

Hosted by Wyoming State Representative Keith Gingery of Jackson Hole
Local Government Distribution

I won't go into detail as to how the formula actually works, but essentially we distribute the funds from the State coffers back to the counties and towns based on a few different factors, one of which being "hardship"  The bottom line is this

 Jackson will receive $1.5 million, which is about $20,000 more than the last budget cycle.

 Teton County will receive $1.2 million which is about $20,000 more also.

Dubois will receive $194,000 which is actually $10,000 less.

 There are also other pots of money, in particular the counties will get a block allocation for county projects.  Teton County will get about $7 million for those projects.
