The Electorate

At the top of Wyoming's government organization is the Electorate.

Is the election intended to be the only form of interaction between the electorate and their representatives? Once elected, there are no checks and balances until the next election, or is a robust ongoing dialog with electorate and elected, always, the expectation?

Tabblocks

Proposal: Creating a Civic Information Pipeline

This graphic is still being developed. To open the node links use right click: Open link in new tab.

In particular the links for precinct and other precincts, require: first the selection of an election, then scroll down the new page to Official County Precinct-by-Precinct Summaries, and then select Precinct-by-Precinct Results for your county of interest.

The House and Senate links are to the wyoleg.gov website.

The tabblock nodes are linked to an example of tabblock for Tax District 0205 Sheridan, Wyoming.


Tabblocks are the U.S. Census Bureau's geospatial unit of measure for housing and population. In Sheridan County, Wyoming these units can be smaller than a street block. Tabblocks are a good candidate for organizing efforts to identify and measure civic priorities.

A good civic project for a student would be to contact the County Clerk, to report to the public, on the functional differences between precincts and tax districts, and how the public in most effectively intended to interact with the two administrative designations. With the approval of a parent, sheridanclash.com is willing to publish any Sheridan County Student's work regarding this topic.

Civic priorities can be taken a step further by drafting a resolution, ordinance, and bill proposal for our elected officials to address.

Is a functioning electorate that can self-organize and create civic priorities which are ranked by the degrees of consensus, or majority agreement a mean to create a civic age?

Are there any voters willing to work with sheridanclash.com to identify and measure civic priorities for their tabblock, precinct, and/or tax district?


Purpose

Could reducing the tax burden on citizens be a goal?

Ingenuity and Innovation can have a place in a precinct. What can the People of a Precinct accomplish for themselves? Could it, consequently, reduce the overhead costs to the taxpayer? Foundational Units - U.S. Census Bureau Tiger/Line Tabblocks2020, may help small groups of citizens to self-organize.

What are the benefits of a timely informed citizenry?

Are consensus based precinct civic priorities identifiable?

Who among the citizenry will represent their constituents by verifying civic priorities and working down the list of priorities from greatest to least degree of majority agreement?


Wyoming

Would Pictures Help?

Can the public better understand taxation, reason about budgeting, and follow the expenditures of taxpayer funds with the aid of maps?

Property tax for the State of Wyoming can be broken down by county and tax district. Tax districts can be further broken down by tabblocks.

Currently, only data for Sheridan County tax district 0205, City of Sheridan, is available as an example. The different maps can be view by double on Sheridan County and then the City of Sheridan (tax district 0205). The final map, tax district 0205, is broken down by tabblocks with housing and population data.

Is there interest in having each county's average mill levy added to the choropleth map?
