Mark Gordon

The Wyoming Governor's Office has put out a press release, stating that Governor Gordon has ordered Wyoming State Flags to be flown at Half Staff on Tuesday, November 24. This is to honor the late Clark A. Smith, who served in the Wyoming House of Representatives in 1965 and passed away on November 19.

According to a press release from the Governor's office, the Energy Rebound Program 'will utilize up to $15 million in CARES Act funding to provide business relief targeted towards drilled, but uncompleted oil and gas wells (DUCs), wells that were unable to be recompleted, and plugging and abandonment (P&A) projects which could not be finished due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.'

The announcement came minutes before Gordon is scheduled to address reporters at 4 p.m. Monday afternoon.

Gov. Mark Gordon will continue to isolate himself.

Under the new orders, restaurants will no longer be required to space out seating in booths and the number of people at a table will increase from six to eight.

Several state agencies will see 10% cuts.

It will be up to individual long-term care facilities to allow, or not allow, visitors.

Gordon noted that Natrona County Health Officer Dr. Mark Dowell implored the county's residents Tuesday to practice social distancing and wear face coverings.
