WyBETT has been in existence since 1993, when a group of people from
several communities who were worried about an attempt to bring local
option casino gambling to Wyoming began to organize to oppose gambling
expansion in Wyoming.
The original leadership included a dentist from Cody, a former
legislator from Evanston, a retired economics Department Chair of
Economics from Dubois via the University of Missouri. The membership
and supporters included former governors, former U. S. Congressmen,
housewives businessmen, educators, law enforcement groups and
officials, parent teacher organizations, mental health providers,
church leaders and sitting (at that time) and future U.S.
Senators. Mike Enzi was the spokesperson for WyBETT during our
1994 campaign.
The Coalition has been active in lobbying the legislature, and has been
involved in fighting gambling bills on the ballot, We have
been undiscriminating in fighting any gambling expansion:
