Management Council approves travel support for legislators to attend MIT nuclear symposium
Summary
The Council approved travel support for Senator Driscoll and other legislators to attend the MIT 'Nuclear Energy Dominance' symposium in March, after discussion about cost, agenda and member participation.
Senator Driscoll asked Management Council to cover travel expenses for himself and other legislators to attend an MIT symposium (Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems) in March. He said the symposium offers in‑depth sessions on reactor technologies, supply‑chain rebuilding and federal/state policy and would help lawmakers better understand issues affecting Wyoming.
Members asked about registration (noted at about $161), travel and lodging estimates (Driscoll estimated $700–$1,000 depending on departure city), and whether the delegation should include House members. Several colleagues expressed interest and the Council approved the request without limiting the number of members, using a voice vote. LSO will circulate a sign‑up and coordinate names for travel approval.
What’s next: LSO will coordinate registration and travel approvals for interested legislators; members suggested leaders of each chamber assist in assembling a representative delegation.
