Gov. Jared Polis Tells Wyoming Governor 'Hands Off Weld County'
(CBS4) - "Hands off Weld County." That's Gov. Jared Polis' response to Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon.
The response comes after Gordon told KOA News radio earlier this week he supports a fringe movement planning to petition to get a ballot initiative to explore the idea of Weld County seceding from Colorado to become part of Wyoming.
The group, "Weld County, WY", has a website and Facebook page and is taking donations. The website says it's a group of Weld County citizens who have a common desire to maintain their way of life.
Polis posted on his Facebook page saying, "Weld County is a thriving part of Colorado and Weld County residents are proud to be part of our great state."
He goes on to address a connection in reverse.
"I do hear from so many Cheyenne (Wyoming) residents, on the other had, that they are culturally, economically and socially more connected to Colorado than Wyoming ..."
