Laramie County Commissioner Linda Heath will discuss the sixth-penny sales tax as well as the county budget on the Weekend in Wyoming show.

We'll also hear from Dave Jenkins of Conservatives for Responsible Stewardship on what his organization thinks about the moratorium on oil and gas leases on federal land and why he thinks the current system is broken and needs to be fixed.
