The WyLiberty Policy Compass is Wyoming Liberty Group’s framework for evaluating policies, legislation, and government initiatives through the principles of individual liberty, free markets, personal responsibility, and limited government. It helps explain whether a proposal advances liberty and markets, poses risks to those principles, or fails the test—giving Wyoming residents a clear way to understand the choices shaping their state.

The Compass applies ten guiding principles covering property rights, transparent constitutional government, responsible taxation and spending, local and state control, individual choice, and other foundations of lasting prosperity. Explore the analyses in this category to see how those principles apply to specific proposals and what they could mean for Wyoming’s families, businesses, and future generations.
