TORRINGTON – States rights, limited government and personal responsibility were among the issues addressed by Harriett Hageman during the Goshen County Farm Bureau’s 2017 annual meeting last week at Torrington.
Hageman, a Goshen County native and nationally recognized expert on regulatory burdens in the United States, told the ranchers, farmers and city dwellers present, “The federal government will never be as effective at fostering the American dream for our citizens, as are the leaders of Wyoming.”
Any number of the nation’s leaders ought to take lessons from Wyoming, where state’s rights are valued, for the good of all, and must be protected from federal infringement, she said.
“Regulatory burdens imposed by the federal government not only infringe on our liberties and freedoms, but also have a direct economical impact on our communities,” she said. “Federal regulations cost agriculture $2.1 trillion a year.”
