After a veto by then-Gov. Matt Mead at the close of the 2018 budget session, legislation that would create criminal charges for impeding fossil fuel facilities and pipelines during protests is back in the Wyoming Legislature.

However, critics told lawmakers at a packed committee hearing Monday that the bill would still restrict people’s lawful right to protest.
hmmmm
