But then. . was Lex Anteinternet: And in the end, it didn't even come to the floor. And some appointments.

We ran this item about the demise of House Bill 220, which would have imposed an income tax on out of state big retailers operating in the state, earlier this week:

Lex Anteinternet: And in the end, it didn't even come to the floor.: Lex Anteinternet: Opposition to the Big Box Tax, and to Lifting the ... : One of the bills that did well in the state House was the bill t...

That item reported on the bills demise. Perhaps we reported too soon.

Discussions are underway in the Senate to pull the bill from the committee and put it in one that will put it on the Senate floor. The bill has the support of Senate GOP leadership and it appears that efforts are underway to revive it.

Stay tuned.

Governor Gordon, meantime, has been making a lot of appointments to various agencies and board. Retiring Gen. Luke Reiner, who was a lieutenant in the Guard back when I was a Sergeant, has been appointed to be the Director of the Wyoming Department of Transportation. Reiner is a good sharp guy and will do a good job. Mary Throne, Gordon's Democratic opponent in the recent Governor's race, was appointed to the Democratic slot on the Wyoming Public Service Commission.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
