WyoFile editor-in-chief Dustin Bleizeffer reports the death of a measure that would have required peopleĀ  and groups wanting to protest energy or industrial development projects to post a bond.

EXCERPT:

Environmental groups, including the Powder River Basin Resource Council, had argued there are long-standing administrative and legal procedures to prove standing when challenging a permit application or permitted energy project. A major point of contention between conservationists and developers in Wyoming is the Wyoming Environmental Quality Councilā€˜s administrative appeals process, which considers challenges permitting actions by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.
