Wyomingites call for lobbying investigation in response to ‘Checkgate’ controversy
Kessler I filed a complaint with the Wyoming Attorney General's office due to Bextel not being a registered lobbiest, maintaining that she was lobbying for a corporation. I don't know the facts of it but Bextel tends to have a deer in the headlights look on these matters and it'll be interesting to see how these things develop. Kessler is a longtime Wyoming conservation activist so this isn't hugely surprising, particularly given the context in which Bextel was there in opposition to a bill pertaining to land use in Teton County.
The other complaint was filed by Michelle St. Louis, and that is a surprise. It's a more wide ranging complaint. St. Louis is a "conservative" and I'd generally regard her as being on the Freedom Caucus end of things, which is why this is surprising.
St. Louis was recently sued by Reid Rasner in something like the third of his suits arguing that certain members of the GOP engaged in a whisper campaign against him during the last election.

St. Louis, who is pretty feisty, didn't appear intimidated by the lawsuit at all.
It'll be interesting to see what the AG's office does with these. Bextel resorted to the typical "the radical left Democrats are picking on me" bullshit.
