As it does every year, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) polls its members on state and federal issues affecting their right to own, operate, and grow their businesses. Results from the annual polls help center NFIB’s lobbying positions in Cheyenne and in Washington, D.C. “State legislators will once again have to grapple with two issues making return engagements,” said Tony Gagliardi, NFIB’s Wyoming state director. “Our small-business-owning membership is clear on both: No to limiting pharmacy choice and no to a vehicle-miles-traveled tax.” Editor’s Note: More about the pharmacy issue below can be read here.
