That's because she's a liar, just like her lying father.
Liz Cheney may have lied on application to obtain Wyoming fishing license
Fishing is a big deal in Wyoming, and its a big deal in the Cheney family, so its a big deal that Liz Cheney, who must overcome accusations of carpetbagging if she hopes to win a Senate seat from the state, apparently fibbed about the length of her residency in order to obtain a fishing license.
Cheney purchased her home in Jackson Hole just last year, after spending years living outside Washington, D.C., in Northern Virginia, where she also graduated from high school. After that, she went to college in Colorado and law school in Illinois, and observers agree that her Senate campaigns biggest challenge is convincing voters that she even has a right to be running in the state. Hey, Liz Cheney: If you want to run for U.S. Senate, try it from Virginia or some other state, the Gillette News Record editorialized in July.
So it certainly wont help that, as Kyle Roerink of Casper Star-Tribune reports today, Cheney improperly received a fishing license in Wyoming before she was eligible, and was registered as a 10-year resident. Cheney denies that she listed herself as a decade-long resident the clerk must have made a mistake but she doesnt deny violating a state law that allows residents to apply for a fishing license only once theyve lived in Wyoming for a full year. Violating the law is a misdemeanor punishable by a $220 fine.
Its a serious misstep, Liz Brimmer, a Republican strategist in Wyoming, told the New York Times. Allegedly poaching in a state where being a resident sportsman is, by law, an earned privilege. Wyoming people will take this very seriously.
Wyomingites do not trifle with fishing. According to census data, nearly 40 percent of Wyoming residents are anglers, who spend a cumulative 5.3 million days a year fishing. Fishing expenditures are worth almost $465 million to the states economy, with much of that coming from tourists. Tourism is Wyomings second largest industry, contributing nearly $1.9 billion annually and providing over 28,000 jobs, and fishing is one of the top draws. The states tourism website uses words like ultimate fishing and fly fishing destination and fishing mecca.
