Donor: Two checks given to Bextel were intended for pair of Wyoming Legislature’s most powerful lawmakers

Rebecca Bextel has accidentally done Wyomingites a huge favor: 

Donor: Two checks given to Bextel were intended for pair of Wyoming Legislature’s most powerful lawmakers: Don Grasso, the donor who wrote checks that activist Rebecca Bextel distributed, identified 10 people he intended to support. Speaker of the House Chip Neiman, R-Hulett, and Wyoming Freedom Caucus leader Rep. John Bear, R-Gillette, were among them. It's unknown whether either received their intended $1,500.

Her blunder in dispensing checks on the legislative floor reveals something that people tracking things should already know.  We have our current populist regime in the legislature due to carpetbagger cash, although the amounts handed out here were not huge.

And the recipients?

I’ve been involved in the Freedom Caucus, both nationally and within the state, and I know these people. I’ve gotten involved and think they are good people.

Grasso.
