UW Television Program Examines Diversifying State Revenues

University of Wyoming economist Rob Godby will discuss options on how to diversify Wyoming’s tax revenues on the UW news and information program “Wyoming Signatures” Sunday, June 19, at 5:30 p.m. on Wyoming Public Television.

In another segment, Kristen Landreville, associate professor in the UW Department of Communication and Journalism, will share her thoughts on why voters support Republican Party presidential candidate Donald Trump, the increasing role of social media in politics and why voters should become more media literate. Landreville will teach a course in political communication this fall at UW.

Also, Matt Hayes, assistant research scientist with the Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, will discuss the unit’s deer project. The project investigates why mule deer populations are decreasing as elk populations are increasing in the greater Little Mountain area south of Rock Springs.

“Wyoming Signatures” is produced by UWTV of the UW Outreach School. Wyoming PBS can be seen over the air and via cable or satellite in communities throughout Wyoming. A complete list of channels can be found at www.wyomingpbs.org/coverage.php.
