Weld County, Wyoming?
2 min readA group calling itself Weld County, Wyoming is trying to place a measure on the November 2021 ballot to push county commissioners to “engage and explore the annexation of Weld County with the State of Wyoming’s Legislature.”
The group is fed up with Boulder and Denver’s destructive policies – specifically as they relate to agriculture and energy, including such ridiculous moves as appointing radical climate change activist Eden Vardy of Aspen as an “agriculture representative” on the state’s Parks and Wildlife Commission and radical animal rights activist and vegan Ellen Kessler to the State Board of Veterinary Medicine, a board that heavily affects the agricultural industry through its regulatory relationship with the Colorado Department of Agriculture.
The idea faces a massive uphill battle as it reportedly requires votes in both state legislatures and the U.S. Congress, and is no doubt dead on arrival in all three as they remain controlled by Democrats.
If passed, the move would place the University of Northern Colorado in the state of Wyoming, as well as increase the population of Wyoming by more than 50% and move it into 49th place instead of 50th. Currently, the state of Wyoming has around 579,000 residents, and the addition of Weld County would bring the population to just over 900,000.
