AARP Wyoming’s GRT is a group of AARP members in the Cowboy State who enjoy learning and advocating for policy that helps older adults in Wyoming. The GRT meets monthly during the legislative interim to do a deep dive into a policy topic, and weekly during the Legislative Session. During a planning meeting in March, the GRT overwhelmingly requested more information on gaming in Wyoming and its impacts to the state’s coffers in light of property tax cuts.
The names of the first 10 Medicare drugs whose prices the federal government will negotiate directly with manufacturers were released Aug. 29. Popular but pricey blood thinners, diabetes medications, cancer treatments make historic list.

Spring Break Travel Scams
The Property Tax Relief picture is starting to come into focus. On Friday, the Senate passed the Property Tax Refund program. The bill has now passed both chambers, but won’t go to the Governor’s Desk just yet.
More on that later. For now, here is what you need to know from the Capitol this week: Scam Protection Bill Is Signed; Podiatrists and Pharmacists Bills Are Passed; Property Tax and other updates.
The eighth annual Souper Bowl food drive, staffed and sponsored by AARP’s Sheridan Community Action Team (CAT) netted an estimated 1,100 pounds of food for local food banks in the Sheridan County area, last week.
Senate File 24 - Financial Exploitation of a Vulnerable Adult - passed the Senate last week and made it through Second Read in the House on Friday.
The webinar is a joint effort between AARP Wyoming, the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, and the Wyoming Business Alliance to help unlock a segment of the Wyoming workforce that returned to the job at lower rates than other demographics.
It's rare that we see new things happen at the Capitol, but Friday brought a surprise when the lights went out in the building around 2 p.m. as the House was about to gavel-in to session.
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide provides in-person and virtual tax assistance to anyone, free of charge, with a focus on taxpayers who are over 50 and have low to moderate income.
The food drive will feature food donation bins around Sheridan decorated in the colors of the Philadelphia Eagles, with others in town wearing the Gold and Red of the Kansas City Chiefs. Donors are encouraged to make their pick for the winner of this year’s Big Game by placing their food donations in bins decorated in the colors of the team they believe will win.
There will be a bit of a break from our bills moving through the House and Senate at the same speed as they have the last three weeks.
