Republican Representative McKay Erickson voiced concerns over recent federal layoffs impacting his Wyoming district, heavily reliant on federal land and services. While keeping his support for Trump, who won Lincoln County overwhelmingly in the 2024 election, he highlighted that the indiscriminate nature of the cuts threatens services crucial for the local economy, especially in terms of trail maintenance and park staffing. Erickson perceived these layoffs as affecting not just jobs, but the very fabric of community services and local industries dependent on public lands.
"This way is so indiscriminate, and it doesn't really drill down on the real issue as to where those cuts need to be," Erickson said.
"I’m afraid that probably all we’re going to lose is services," McKay Erickson expresses concern over cuts affecting local services.
